In coming...

Penhaligon's As Sawira Eau de Parfum
Creed - Baie De Genievre

Paladin PK-47

A Charcoal Goods razor in antique brass, with both Level 2 and Level 3 SB plates, arrived. Since I now have a Level 1 head on the way to use with my other handles, I'll be putting this set up for sale.


And a couple boxes of Personna 74 Tungstens, mislabeled as "Hospital Use," also came.

I received these Brad Sears/Morris and Forndran brushes this week. The first brush is a snow leopard Polo with a 26mm blonde badger knot. Next up is a 30mm Stubby in antique ivory with a briarwood band. The last brush is 26mm leopard Polo. The Stubby and leopard Polo both have finest knots.

I took about 9 months off from buying anything, finally cracked. I needed a new tub of Nuavia Verde and the flood gates opened when I started looking around at new stuff.....and then an email from Florian

A Charcoal Goods Level 1 brass razor head arrived today.

Brush is a Maggard Razors 28mm Black and White Knot that I set in a 30mm Whipped Dog Standard Handle. The knot is shipped in a square box so it takes a few uses to lose some of the packaging deformation.

I had been waiting a long time for the CG Lvl-2 base plates to be finished. The soap smells incredible too. Received the very nice SE from Wholly Kaw and two other soaps that I just love to smell. Great performance too.

Love that Stubby!
