A bit early but what's been your best buys of 2020?

[Merkurologist]

Feather AC DX non folding
CH3 Manchurian with shorter (52mm) knot

I have a folding DX and a folding SS that have actually changed my shaving routine like no other item I bought in the last 10 years. I wanted a shavette to try and I loved the SS so much that I saw myself including it in my rotation once or twice a week instead of "a month" I had anticipated. Then I got the DX and for the last 3 months my rotation went out of the window.... I no longer have a rotation other that one day the SS and the next the DX. I have a collection of 9 SS DEs and a single SE SS that has taken years to build to my needs and yet, I no longer include them in my daily shaving with any consistancy, according to my records I used the ATT S1 once in the last 54 shaves but SS 26 and DX 27 shaves.

Happy New Year

Tatara Masamune - Nodachi Cap, Masamune plate and handle.

Got to mention the Perma-Sharp blade, as without this the Tatara would not have got a mention, it's transformed the razor for my use.

So far I have made no purchases in 2020.

Been looking for a masamune base plate and handle myselve to have the exact same configuration so far haven't found on bst on various forums as i found it a bit expensive to buy from tatara directly

I bought the Zenith Extra Soft horse back at the start of May and haven’t really looked back. Bargain as well as a strong ethical choice.

The B&M Soft Heart in Unscented was an April purchase and I’ve been very happy with it. It’s pretty much all I’m using.

Non-shaving related but still grooming, I’ve been wearing Guerlain’s Habit Rouge EDT almost daily and in the last month I’ve been very happy with Garnier’s SPF 50+ Face Fluid for £7.

Do you still have this brush? How have you liked it?

Yes, I’m happy with it. I like the handle and the knot behaves well. If you don’t want badger or synthetic, it’s a great option.
