Maseto 30mm Finest bought from eBay; it took about 3 weeks to arrive from China. Beautiful presentation as it arrived in a nice handmade box along with a brush stand and key chain. I'll have to take it for a spin tomorrow.

Holy crap, that's an impressive mail call.

Received this Charcoal Razor yesterday; I had seen a few YouTube videos highlighting how wonderful they shave and with the fact that I can pass this down to my sons, it became a no brainer.

I have read and heard that St. James of London shaving creams were top notch and offer great value for the money. I have since learned my lesson of forking money over for just one tub of cream/soap and then not liking it. I have been buying samples of tons of soaps now to figure out what I like/don't like. I went to their site and bought this sample pack for $6.99 and shipping was free (you can't beat that). I am looking forward to trying them out then I'll decide on which one I like the best.

A Rooney 2/1 Finest (20mm/50mm)


And a vintage C&E For Men shaving soap. I am hoping it will have more fragrance when it is lathered.

Marfin 229 is now mine. It is my 3rd and I just could not help myself!

Another great haul; XPEC and MWF from Connaught Shaving, and the Imperial Pomade from Amazon.

I signed up in late September for Rockwell's Kickstarter campaign for the Rockwell 6C, a chrome-zinc alloy version of the stainless steel 6S. Today it made a surprise appearance in the mailbox just as I received the email notification of shipping!
