Hello Gentlemen,
Here is my very latest acquisition: a bespoke doppkitt which was crafted by a wonderful British artisan, Carl Morgan.
…

That is some beautiful, classy work, indeed! Thanks for sharing.

This is my biggest shaving acquisitions since I started shaving.

I'm very impressed with the Maggards Slant


Initial use of Shannon's and Through the Fire, has positive. Both soaps produce loads of slick lather and they have a good post shave feel.

I will follow-up with reviews on them nd the other soaps.

Fine Aftershave, is just plain fantastic.

Never tried any Stirling Balm, looking forward to that. I'm going to try a shampoo bar for my hair.

Lots of new goodies to try.

Nice haul sinistral!

Acqua di Parma Colonia cologne. I am going to use it to add fragrance to the lather from some of my older soaps that have lost theirs, such as Rawleigh's, Williams, Colgate Barber, and Figaro P.160.

Just got this back from North Shore Razors.  Scott did an excellent job with quick turnaround time.  I think it looks fantastic.  Can't wait to put it in rotation.

Back from vacation to these today ...

That is a beautiful-looking Slim!

I've been looking for a while now and finally found a Fatboy in my birth year and quarter that was in decent condition for a reasonable price.  It arrived today.  The box is in pretty good condition although I'll have to find my own package of vintage blades to put in the space provided If anybody knows what blades came with this razor I'd be happy to hear from you.

Gillette F1 Fatboy

Not mine, but loaned to me by a good friend. I'm going to try them and then decide if it's worth my time and effort to join the scramble to buy a Paladin brush or two. From the left, Chief, Falstaff, Lotus, Sherlock, and Sumo.

It's good to have friends in high places, John. You just might like these.
