Well I made a few purchases. Been taking a big break from fragrance and aftershave to let my collection get used up, but I made one small excuse.

First, Finally reached the point to go ahead and buy the Feather Adjustable razor. I love my simple, reliable ol' Feather Popular but now it's starting to come loose during shaving and I have to re tighten it every few draws to be safe. Not fond of that.

Second, I went to go and finally pick up a set of Sterling's "Green" Shave Soap and both the After Shave Splash/Balm. Sadly Rod already pulled it from the main site but thankfully Maggard Razors still had them listed and in stock. Sad I couldn't land the regular bar soap for the shower but whatever, y'know. Also picked up some new blades to try, and mostly to reach free shipping lol.
Third, and finally, I am coming to a much anticipated conclusion after contacting and patiently working with
@pipingtenor2570 to essentially commission him to forge me my very own shave brush! I won't reveal it yet, but it is a badger and beaver hybrid, which will also be my first animal hair brush, with a pretty simple but very unique (to me) handle. Looking very forward to its completion and soon arrival within the week or so. Thanks again Tinker for your correspondence and work.
