Hey thanks. That’s good to hear, it was a kind of impromptu thing.

This is what happens when you've kept some ADs in check for far too long. Please feel free to send me any items you may have in surplus.

That’s true!

Oh and, building you a soap sample package now.

8 day expected shipping!! Good lord! That’s awful lol!

Oh no! Now it’s jumped up to a 10 day expected arrival lol!! Being an Amazon Prime member, anything over two days anymore is torture lol!

Well, my mail call came in today. This is a Tony Millers premium steerhide. I have had his fast bridle for a few years and have loved it. Like my first experience with his strops, it is again a flawless piece of leather. I’m glad I bought it. In spite of the name “Fast Bridle”, the steerhide is actually a lot faster. I’m not a draw guy so it’s definitely for me. And some razors bring too much draw for the fast bridle. It’s a three inch so no linen, only cotton weave. Everybody should own one.

Someone told me that proraso makes Acqua di parma cream. ?

Yea, I'd agree, AdP is pretty much a superb shaving cream, absolutely one of my favourites and will always be in my rotation. Thanks - this will be my choice for this evenings shave, was going to be C&S Oxford & Cambridge....

Hey Phrank, after your shave tonight, can you tell me exactly which one you have, or take a pic along with a little review? I’d really appreciate it. Do you have the aftershave too?

Here’s why:

I need one, maybe two more soap/aftershave combos to round things out, and that Noble Otter is calling my name even though I said I’d wait and see what the AdP was like first.

I can’t wait to try my sample! But it’s not here till Saturday or Monday depending on the minute according to fedex and I have a ridiculous sense of urgency about buying a new combo lol!

Remind me why I should wait!

Man, I just ordered some more soaps and a couple of aftershaves... can’t wait to share what’s coming soon!

So it came in! The R41 head on the Maggard MR3 handle is killer! I stared a thread, but here’s a pic next to one with a rose gold handle. I love this fat handle!



The Barrister & Mann Hallows smells like a spicy pumpkin drink at first blush. I’ll update after using.

I’m soaking my omega for a while to break it in - but I was shocked at how big it was!

I’ll review the Oleo after a couple of shaves - it smells like a light milk chocolate.

The AdP scent is lovely! I can’t stop sniffing!

I got this in today.



The 63 is just so pleasant, I got the liquid soap for the shower.

The Baume is in a nice glass jar - I’ll review it after a few uses too.

I’m getting stuff in every day until Monday according to tracking. It’s going to be a fun month.
