Arrived yesterday.

Looks spiffy! is it a new 85mm handle?

Yes, it is! I never tried the 70 mm or the 101 mm, but I’m glad Blackland Razors decided to go with 85 mm. I think anything between 80 and 90 mm would be ideal for most shavers, and this is right within that spot.

C&E Sienna splash aftershave and Houbigant Fougère Royale shaving soap.

Not really a Mail Call, but more of a Road Trip.  Straight down the NJ Garden State Parkway to Billy G's Cutting Den to get myself Cool and Fresh (first bottle off the shelf).

Two copper shaving bowls (I have used the more fragile Turkish ones but found someone in the US who makes them by hand and was willing to send to Belgium)

The Option Five was delivered today. So it will be up for tomorrow morning's shave

Some Martin de Candre shaving soap arrived today.  I had some in the past briefly, and now I can't remember why I got rid of it.  To me it doesn't smell like asphalt at all, more like a muddy lavender.
