July 2018 SHAVING Acquisitions Thread

Curiosity got the better of me with these creams, particularly as one contains tallow. Gotta love the industrial "bladders".
The tobacco cream smells wonderful. The other (tallow-containing) cream is a eucalyptus scent similar to Proraso green.

I've had the handle for a while, cleaned up and bored out. Knot arrived this week, 23mm silver tip, popped it in yesterday. I'm off to try it out now.

Mail Call:- The British Ever Ready Streamline SE razor is heavier than the GEM G-Bar, Micromatic Bullet Tip, Clog-Pruf, Open Comb and also the 1938 Gem 1912 SE Australian Commemorative razors I've own in my den.

I love the solid heavy feel and balance in my hand, I'm very please, happy and so glad to have the British Ever Ready Streamline SE razor in my den... OMG! this baby is a real keeper

Edit:- You guys MUST get the vintage British Ever Ready Streamline SE razor in you den NOW!!!

Picked these up from the office today -



I've taken 10 out and thrown into the Assorted Modern and Vintage Super Blade Sampler

A couple of reserve B&M Sinfonia’s, a greatly underrated soap.

Its very underrated, I picked up a set a while back and loved it from the get go. Simple and appealing.

It's a polarising scent but off the puck I would describe the scent as a floral hit followed by the fruitiness of Apricot

There you go buddy


I got a 30mm Black and White Maggards Synthetic today. It's my first synthetic and it's so soft I don't think it will work with hard soaps. No pic as it wouldn't do it justice

Trust me, it'll do the job just fine. The synthetic I use is even softer than usual synthetics, and it's had no issues with the hardest of soaps. Enjoy using it!
