2025 Shaving Acquisitions Thread

After decades of only using one or two different soaps
I have only recently fallen down the rabbit hole of shaving soaps.
Blame that wascally wabbit. My sojourn on the Dark Side was even more shameful. I was using Pears as my shave soap. Worse, I should have known better, since I started with Yardley. With any luck, that's how I'll finish.

Actually I have the original stainless steel in both solid bar and open comb. But I wont't be able to make a comparison for a couple weeks, which is how long it takes for the polishing,
Whenever you can do it - I'll be waiting 😊
 
Replate by Back Roads.

Yes I had the hunch it was. I have included a photo which shows my F3 in what I consider VG>Exellent condition (shown on the left hand side) beside my D3 which Chris at Back Roads did in 2021. It clearly shows the difference betwwen Gold electroplating by Gillette and Gold plating being Microns thicker in the depth and colour. I have just sent another Executive Fatboy to Dustin at Back Roads Gold, as Chris has now semi-retired. I will post a photo when it is returned (y)
