Thanks Paul, I couldn't have bought 1 of the Wilkinson Sword sets for what I paid for it all. Some things could fund future buys too..........at least that's the story I told the better half

Razor: Gillette #22
Blade: Wizamet (5)
Brush: Grizzly Bay Oumo Handmaster
Soap: Baron's Choice 1508.5 Project
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Fresh Lime
Fragrance: CK One
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 923
Plugging along with the Current 1508.5 Project. Truth be told if the den wasn't bulging at the seems with soap, this would be a purchase another for me. The Aristocrat is a beautiful razor that is one of the more solidly feeling builds of Gillette that I've experienced but it requires a lot of attention to maintaining the angle sweet spot for an efficient shave. Enjoyable shave and feeling refreshed. Have a Swell Day Everyone !!

Nice haul!
Thanks Eric, it'll take awhile to get thru cleaning and trying everything. Especially the Wilkinson Sword sets that will need honing of the wedge blades. The Pall Mall will take Modern Gems at least.
