Thank you HoosierShave Pics don't do them justice. I tried taking my own but just went with the ones Derek sent me. Love that he's pouring his own resin.

Received this super speed slim adjustable, good shape and shaves and works like new.

All three of these beauties showed up today. The one on the far right is my custom build from Wolf Whiskers and I supplied the knot. I bought the knot from Nick Zhang (Maseto). It measures 30.5 mm at the plug! Monster of a brush. The PantaRei was created for me from a photo that I took from the hospital balcony where my youngest son was born; just a beautiful and well done job.

My two new acquisitions:

28mm Paladin Falstaff
26mm M&F Polo

It's been a busy couple of weeks for me:

First, I got the full set of samples of Barrister's Reserve from Barrister & Mann.

I won an eBay auction for a vintage Ever-Ready 100T. I was originally going to put a 24mm tuxedo knot I have in there. But now I'm thinking about getting a badger knot for it and putting the tuxedo in the Whipped Dog Handle that has the Amack knot. I'm not sure yet.

The other day I got a bottle each of Chatillon Lux Champs de Lavande and TSM Fougére from Maggard Razors

And finally, over the weekend L&L Grooming had an anniversary sale and I took advantage of it and picked up a tub of Champs de Lavande soap.

I just got this to hold more than one razor.

I got some solid colognes today to try, since my skin does not tolerate regular liquid colognes or EdTs. They smell really good. I selected them because they all were relatively inexpensive, averaging to $21 each shipped.

Now these will be undergoing a serious cleaning session over the next couple weeks.
