Some good stuff there.  Every time I use the Rose soap, I wonder why I use anything else.

I’ve been wanting to try the Agrumes as well as the Rose for quite a while now, I may have to treat myself...

I've never before had interest in any vintage shaving gear.

I've never before used an injector, but just yesterday I received what is apparently a type-K4 Schick (long type-L handle, yellow, marketed to women), NOS in its original unopened packaging, and now I have a 1950's era injector on the way.

Having never used an injector, I have zero clue what blades to get, though initial early reading suggests I should just get 7-blade dispenser of Schicks available on Amazon.

I've joked (but not really, I want it to happen now....) that I want someone like Blackland to make an injector.  The one by Supply just doesn't interest me, fwiw.
Should have this by March 13--

Yesterday I ordered a 20-blade (plastic) dispenser of Personna from Connaught, and a 7-blade Schick dispenser from Amazon.  I've heard bad things about that Personna dispenser malfunctioning due to it being plastic, but the blade was recommended to me on another forum.  Figured for the price it was worth a try.

The type-K4 (type L yellow handle) I have I bought from nikos here in the BST.  I'll likely leave that unopened, and use it as trade currency at some point, LOL.

I ordered some Maol Grooming aftershave from Top of the Chain yesterday. Be here in the states in 2 weeks, more or less.

Had got one for my wife as I didn't care fir the long handle but she preferred her Pink Lady Gillette double edge. Traded it to another member who's wife enjoys it. I may need to try the personna blade, thanks
