I am not 100% sure but I am lead to believe if it is in stock, it's fair game.

Ok. So that means not the Fougères (which are released on 2 May) but maybe Diamond (6 April release).

Latha is out of stock (but I'm sure he can make some easily enough in time for us). There are other seasonals available now: Rhapsody, etc

Sounds great anyways!!! (Although I'd dearly love some Fougères...)
 
Guess it depwnds how long folks are willing to wait for delivery.
Maybe two orders is an option ?

Settle down you two. We already have the May release covered. All will become clear soon.

Bresduck Dubl Duck Satinedge, 11/16 Full Hollow, Square Point​

Dubl Duck straight razors are shavers you can always trust. With their full hollow grinding, they are a joy to use: singing and effective, they always give a very good shave. This Satinedge is no exception and it certainly is a superb straight razor. Not to mention the super cheap Arko soap - however a very good soap - and the refreshing splash of Aqua Velva, for a very satisfactory shave!​

In my opinion, Arko is a good tallow based soap. Add to this it is very cheap, I think it is a good soap and better than many other super expensive soaps. Although the scent is not the best (in my opinion) it however is a nice soap.

Summarises my view, yet it's scent polarises most here.
Even I find it off putting some days, yet acceptable other day.
One thing I am yet to hear, is someone state it doesn't perform it's primary purpose.

It seems the summary is: great cheap soap, bad cheap scent.
 
Brush Frank Shaving Silvertip
Razor Gillette Slim H4
Blade Permasharp (2)
Pre-Shave Proraso Green
Soap Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post Shave Dickson's Original Witch Hazel & Natio Calming Aftershave Balm

The MWF and the Permasharps are a match made in heaven. First time lathering MWF and I probably needed some more water but it lathered easily and was very slick. So much so I needed to get out the alum block to use on my hand to stop the slim from slipping.

I think the MWF will become my go to winter soap in place of Proraso Red
 
Ahh, we're progressing to a happy medium, a compromise ;)
This is heartening to see fellas :)

Next, @Drubbing amaze us all and use a smiley :p
