had this sitting in a box for about 20+ years
 
I have been wanting an English Aristocrat for sometime. I tool a chance on a "beat up" looking #15 one from Ebay. A lot of people stayed away from this one since it was bad looking. I was hoping it was just tarnish since it was silver plated. It was. Turned out real nice.

Here's some before and afters.

Well! I was fortunate enough to get a FatBoy recently, and just this morning opened up the shipping box containing a tube of Tabac shaving cream, and a big ol' box of Astra blades. Things are mostly good...
 
Just been to Gran Canaria with my wife for a week in the sun.
All this is just readily available on the supermarket shelf.
Round about €1.25 for a tube of cream.
Only problem is I couldn't find the La Toja sticks but I'm off to Madrid in 6 weeks so I'm sure I can wait.
Also received some scale blanks and a finished set of Desert Ironwood scales from another B&B member this morning.
