OK I heard they were small but ...hope the other brushes don't pick on it. It is sooooo miniscule.
 
Wondered why my Spanish parcel was so delayed!!!!

Yeah our vigilant Border Force...they netted a big fish here.

The contents were a mess, but what can you do? Not sure what of the contents from the x-ray made them suspect?....maybe they just wanted to see the results of their footy kicks!

Not super exciting I know, but more topping up supplies just in case....and I'm still on the quest for a badger I love....so let's try Semogue!

Second parcel, I was very excited about arriving

So that's it. my transformation is officially complete. @Mark has proven himself an exemplary enabler. The pride and joy of my DE stable - the Feather AS-D2 - is now but a memory. To be replaced by more straights (only have the one DE for, fuck knows when I'll ever use it).

Always been curious about the Red Imp - this one looks a beaut! And the Dovo Inox was bought for a new shaver down the track...but now I'm curious to see how it shaves. He might be disappointed for having not received it....though he'll never know!
 
When I had my brief infatuation with straights, a red imp was the one I wanted too. I didn't understand the difference between all the models. so gave up on the idea, and haven't been interested in straights since.
There wasn't as much readily available information back then, or I might have been tempted to carry, but now I've realised I just want a razor to shave with, not to have an experience over.
 
Nice razors mate!

What's in the background of your arty Spanish photo?
 
Frapin Nevermore, near new and almost full, less than 1/2 the price available elsewhere.
A nice addition indeed.
 
I've heard of going on a sabbatical, but for a single man like yourself a commitment like that shouldn't be undertaken lightly @borked.
Maybe you should try no frapping for a week before you commit to the long term.

Oh how I could reply to this and leave you shocked and cringing ;)

A shame. Seems a 133 is all you need.
 
£8.6 post approx for those of a curious mind.
@unobtainium81 I suspect you will be back for more ;)


I predict that this thread is about to explode with bountiful hauls.
And I'm going to start, with one... soon :)

Looking forward to reading your initial impressions. Your acquisitions this year have been the bees knees.

Two VERY nice pickups (although only ONE photo - shame on you!)

Yeah. Didn't get around to the second photo. I think only you would be wanting the photo of the soap. [emoji6]
