November 2016

This Yardley Black Label shaving soap is only only the oldest shaving soap I have ever bought but also the most expensive one for me. I hope it is well worth it.

I wasn't expecting to find one of these rare razors, much less in the wild, neither was I looking for one, but... Thanks to a tip from a friend, I was able to locate a Personna Precision Micromatic Adjustable safety razor in mint condition here in Portugal.

Basically the same design than the Gibbs Règlable, but unlike the Gibbs, this one can be loaded with common DE blades, without the need to modify the blades.

I wonder if its zamak or brass plated?

I got some samples of Shannon's Soaps, an artisan I've been wanting to try for a while now. They all smell great. I can't wait to see how it performs tomorrow morning!

Keep us posted, Jeff! I have only read positive things about Shannon’s.

A good mail day.
Some vintage Aramis JHL aftershave, to go with the matching shaving soap. It smells fantastic.


And some vintage Gillette 'Swedes,' for which I traded. Great blades. He was kind enough to also include some Wizamet Super Iridiums as a gift.

Got some soap.

Wickham Soap Co.
Irish Fern



Smells a lot like Penhaligan's English Fern.

Japanese shaving box, I already have one from Indonesia but this one will contain the razors I'll get in 2017
