Received this shavette from IBC yesterday!

This one should be really interesting to try out.....

I love the look, feel, shape and weight of it so far...next up is how it shaves...

Today I got some African Black Shave Butter Crème, which I'm curious to try.

Also arrived yesterday.... A New Forest Tubby 2 brush...
Man, this thing was bigger than I thought but it's surprisingly comfortable to hold!
This will be the next brush I'm using for sure

Some very rough stats:
Loft: 56mm
Base diameter of handle: 46mm
Handle height: 45mm.
Knot is Two-Band Super Badger, 26mm

Seller was also kind enough to surprise me by throwing in a new tube of Muhle Shaving cream that I've never tried before

Arrived today - a big package of stuff that I ordered a few weeks ago.
I rather recently tried out Floid Blue for the first time and found that it really worked for me - both scent and for my skin.
Due to a few discontinuation rumors (I still have no idea if they are true or not...) and coupled with finding the aftershave for what I think was a really good price ($28 shipped per bottle to the US (probably less if you're somewhere in Europe)) I ended up ordering four [more] bottles so I could use it for a long time and not think twice about availability

The vendor is TVBShaving by the way and seems like a very credible and trustworthy guy to deal with.

In addition to the four bottles of Floid Blue I also picked up a bottle of Acqua di Eucalipto by Extro' for $6 that will be fun to experience. I assume @crackstar have already had a go at it?

So how much Floid Blue is enough?
This much is enough for me.
At 400ml per bottle...that's about 2.2 litres (I've used some!)

Wow darkbulb, that is one hell of a deal. They also have 400ml Proraso Green aftershave for $24 shipped.

I already own both, but if I didn't I would certainly get on those deal!

Oh must have missed the 400ml Proraso green...that's a pretty sweet deal.
Hm..maybe next year

Oh no, I now see this posted on their home page:
"We are really sorry to inform you that we do not ship more floid bottles to United States because a large number were broken during transport and we don't have the insurance to cover it"

Ohh no, that is a bummer. Consider your self luck!
