2023 Shaving Acquisitions Thread

Mail call today from Beard and Blade in Victoria.

You’ll may not enjoy this scent straight out from the tub, unless, you really understand sports, I mean real baseball.

The scent smells like a real dirty green grass in dirt sand, along with a very strong smell of greasy human sweaty baseball glove with a strong leather smell.

Edit:- WARNING!! Do NOT buy this soap, IF, you're a very happily married man. Otherwise, your wife will definitely kick you straight outside into the Doghouse, unless you take a shower first to completely get rid of this smell.

That sounds like the beginning of a sound strategy there, maybe. Mme G hated my Hamami, which I really liked. (Her precise words were "Eurrrgh, what's that stink?) So I could get both Batters Up and Hamami, offend her sensibilities with the former, then go back to my Hamami...

Yeah, nah - won't work. Off to the doghouse...

Now you fully understand why, I’m still not bloody married. Anyway looks like I don’t have an issue, looking forward to Batters Up tomorrow night shaves.

Dirty, sweaty leather? No thanks.

Yep, found that out myself when mine arrived today. Mrs Nanook absolutely hates this one.

As a mad baseball player and fan, this soap smells exactly like a used baseball glove.

I'm actually thinking NO got this one wrong. Yes it smells exactly like baseball, even more so than B&M's Diamond but do you really want that scent on your face? I guess I'll find out after I use it for the first time.

It’s not sweet leather, smell like harsh dark leather, but, not deep leather.

This is no April Fools Day joke - the mods are onto it this month!

It does help that I'm in Dublin and it is only the afternoon here

Please post your SHAVING Acquisitions here with pics if you have them.

Cool non-shaving stuff goes in this thread

Done that, at the Temple Bar. My first Guinness and I was underwhelmed.
