What’s new to you?

Woo-hoo! Another Pen's covert! Congrats on the pick-up KJ!

Awesome acquisition of the Ikon, Rob!

I received my bottle of Pen's English Fern yesterday. Thanks for the enablement DocHoliday0831! This will probably be my last Wet shaving "purchase" for a very long time.

Anyway, I put it on today, and I have to say, it's much more subtle than I expected. It's about the scent I expected, just not as strong. But so far, longevity seems to be good. I think it's very well balanced, and is just about right. You aren't going to project this all the way across the room, but It's there when you need it for when your lady gets close. Makes me curious about their other scents. Maybe after I win the lotto.

lol I think you are only the second person I’ve ever enabled to buy anything. Dave Xenostr8shaver was the other with his Captain’s Choice bowl
 
Pictures don't do them justice. On the left is a 26mm Maggards 2 band in a Cocobolo handle. On the right is a 26mm 70/30 badger/boar in a marble wood handle.

Wow Don. Those look awesome. I am looking forward to hearing what you think about the Badger/Boar combo

Not exactly an exciting mail call, but took the plunge on these to try em out.

Is there a razor in that box, or are those blades?
 
Gonzo44 said:
sorry just blades guess I should’ve specified. They were advertised as something new from Parker and
my first mail in a little while.
Like I said nothing exciting...

Oh, ok. The box doesn't say blades per se, and I thought it might be a shavette. Looks similar to the box my Parker shavette came in.
 
Two lovely packages arrived today.

First a trade with Mr. Avon.


The lime leaked a tiny bit but nothing serious. Who's going to complain about smelling like when opening a package? The polar bear has Everest and the Whistle has Tai Winds. The wgistlw is what triggered the shave. I wanted one because I'm a referee.

Also got this awesome mail call from Razorock



The brush was the deal of the day. Then I added a few things to get to free shipping. The blue Fougere smells amazing. I've been hesitant about pulling the trigger but now I need to figure out what to do with 10oz of soap ugh!
 
Thanks @dkeester! This just arrived today, and it smells great!!

Similar to Stirling's Sharo Dressed Man but there's something about it that smells a little bit different. Almost like it's more complex. Very good though, can't wait to wear it tomorrow!
