Ballenclaugh Shaving Soap Vanderpool arrived today, my first order of the brand. Haven’t used the new soap yet. I was expecting a somewhat sweet leather scent, but opening the jar is like having someone slap you against the face with a brand-new leather jacket.

This is some serious scent strength… It’ll be interesting to find out how the soap performs.

Well it's been a good week got another package. The downside is I think my RAD has hit stage 4 and I need treatment.

From the image Senate515 that Slim looks minty. You can't let those things run free

My spoils from the meet up at Maggard Razors!

And here's the door prize I won! A Maggard V3 razor on an unreleased prototype handle and an unknown brand synthetic brush. I know he said what it was but I can't remember. If anyone has an idea, let me know. I gave the razor to my wife for her first DE. We'll see if she ever uses it, lol.

No idea Jeff but the brush looks really cool. Like the razor handle too- almost a beehive feel.

Great haul- only thing missing is pics of the meet!

A beautiful haul, Jeff. Enjoy.
