I knew there’s be at least one person!
I’ve been pretty darn good keeping my shave gear purchase promises! Frag purchases on the other hand…

Pro tip if you do plan to buy…there is at least one 10% off coupon out there and I’ve also had a browser window open to the shop for quite some time…after a couple weeks, the price of the razor started dropping very slowly (not sure if it was because of money exchange economics or some store cookie monitor) but it saved me a little off the top (you do have to pay a bit extra for shipping still).
Does something like honey work on that site ? I saw that its supposed to search for and apply coupons if any are out there...

No idea! Try it!
I only found one coupon, passed along by an influencer/barber who did a review for it.
Sorry...
Even though honey is free to sign up for, I have not done it. I was just asking because someone else might have already signed up.. I wasn't gonna buy one of the razors ( at least not right now ) ..I was just mentioning it as a possible for someone else.. Again , Sorry...I shall stay out of this one...... Congrats on getting a new razor and I hope you enjoy it..
Whoo hoo, bom bada bing bang boom!Finally joining the 333 club! Except for a possible trade or two…this will likely be my last shave razor purchase! Great note to end on (I’m hoping)…certainly the most expensive note to end on!

Thanks Bill! Hoping I really fall in love with it like most everyone else seems to have. I want to be pulled back into open blade shaving!
I’ve tried a Feather DX and honestly wasn’t too impressed over an SS which has been my main open blade of choice.
If I don’t love it…I guess at least I’ll have some serious trading power (and plenty of “I told you so”s from the missus)!

I have a few soaps and my current razor, but polished coming, i,e., the polished Claymore Evolution... it was shipped from Scotland earlier in the week and is in Miami at the moment. With a little luck, it should be here on Tuesday, though the expected delivery is still showing Wednesday.

I’m running low on citrus forward scents……
Obviously a necessary purchase, well done. I don’t know this maker.
They’re a relatively new artisan out of Michigan - they do both Tallow and Vegan bases. 5 1/2 ounces per serving as they say. Mix of own scents and cologne homages. They did a nice homage to Ralph Lauren Safari that I liked. A neat little thing that they do is put a poker chip to use as a scooper if you bowl lather.
Makes sense.
Couple of things on the way. Vintage Timberline After Shave by English Leather. Looks to be from the MEM Company era. Also a bottle of Cussons "Imperial Leather" after shave. I love the scent of the Imperial Leather soap. Hope the AS is the same scent.

Haven’t heard of that one, really curious about the scent!
