Acquisitions April 14 - 20

Let's see what the mailman/woman brought you this week!

I Put this in the other acquisitions thread, but as I got them this morning I've moved my post across

C&E Sienna shave cream picked up for 99p on ebay.

My C&E collection continues to grow apace!

Finally got a tube of C.O Bigelo. I should kick my own *** for not getting this sooner! Also, got a puck of C&E Sienna soap!

I was watching that one. You'll have to let us know how it shaves when you get it.

A beautiful nearly mint Norfolk case for my NEW Norfolk razor from Rodd. Thanks Rodd! If anyone knows where I can locate a chrome blade holder like the gold one in the case I would be very grateful.

shaving soap looks good, enjoy it!

I ran out of bodyshop cream. It lathered great, but I never liked the smell too much. After checking several products I settled for the C&E Sienna. They didn't have the aftershave balm nor the cream jar. Now I know what I like, I can go and order those from the internet when this tube is empty.

The Sandlewood smelled awesome too, perhaps next time for special occasions.

The lady in the store said to me "This is the mens department"... I am, aren't I? Why are such stores mainly for females..

My new coates lime looks like this... Is that normal? It seems a little empty to me

Re the Coates Lime: Mine looked like that too. I added a few drops of water & fluffed it a bit w/a plastic fork. Made it a bit creamier. Haven't used it yet so I can't vouch for its quality but at least it looks better than it did.

Today: a puck of 'De Vergulde Hand' shaving soap at the supermarket, a Dutch classic

I saw that auction. I'm not a DE guy, but that razor was tempting me

UPS drop off surprise today! I had totally forgotten.

Heljestrands MK 31 with real tortise shell scales. This is one beautiful razor, the pictures hardly do it justice.
