September 2017

Had to try out some new products so I am looking forward to seeing how my skin works out with some of these (facial cleansing bar and Cosmo Serum). There was a few products I wanted to order as gifts to a former boss at work. He already loves scent of Cosmo aftershave and has helped open two coffee shops so we will see how he enjoys the Cosmo bar soap and coffee bar soap.

I bought this from a friend.

Two beautiful synthetics from TurnNShave.

Received these two(26mm) today. I really hope the knot on the left is better as I much prefer the handle shape.

If I end up not liking any of them, these may be the last badger brushes I purchase and declare myself a boar guy!!

I'm definitely interested in hearing what you think about tat Maestro brush. I have several of them on my watchlist on eBay but have been hesitant to order any.

Gorgeous brushes. The knot on that Morris and Forndran looks incredible.

I have yet to try the 26mm knots, but the 30mm 2-Band ones are superb! I have three regular ones and two extra dense ones (three set into custom handles) and they are the best value with regards to performance/quality considering their price that I have encountered with badger knots.
I highly recommend them.  

Fantastic! 30mm it is, I'm heading over to eBay now Thank you for the recommendation.

Great to hear, but I wasn't trying to dissuade you from getting the 26mm one.
I hope you enjoy the brush.

EUREKA !!! I have just restarted the age of miracles.
TOTALLY ECLIPSES

Arrived today One Eclipse Red Ring razor. Type W. 1932. When I was born the first time.
Handle is engraved "Eclipse" on one side and "Red Ring" on the other. The ring is gone but nail polish and a toothpick will soon fix that.
It is a beauty with dirty brassy coloured handle. It cleaned up with Silvo.
Sterilized. Bathed. Shined. Fed. Ready for tomorrow morning.
Here is my photo of two eclipses. The sun and moon with mine (in front). Better ones tomorrow.

NOS Filarmonica 13 JMP

This, this is my DREAM razor. (that scale and everything)

Do you mind telling me where did you buy this from?

Two new Paladins, a Somerset Lotus 26mm/53mm and a Jade Buck Rogers 28mm/55mm

Celestino.

I wish that I could help you but I can't.

I have fallen wholeheartedly into the synthetic bristle world.
I can't help myself.
Dancing cheek by cheek with a porcupine is now passee for me.

Even my sole silvertip has fallen out of favour.
You know, "Hair today, Synthetic tomorrow."

I am sure you will put up a good battle, old friend.
But never turn your back on any badgers, boars or bucking broncs.

Don't give up the ship.
