Acquisitions April 2026

[JamieM]

Nice lens Jamie, I had the Canon version of this lens a few years ago when I was into photography and it was sharp as a tack with a lovely bokeh.

Steve, I have three G-master lenses; they are incredibly sharp, expensive, but worth it.

Wholly Kaw seems to have changed the Siero base. There's the new one (Crème Fraiche) too.

You will notice that there isn't any Buffalo Milk/Buffalo tallow in the ingredients anymore.

Sri had told me many years ago that most of it ends up for Mozzarella Di Buffala in the US so it's very difficult to obtain it anymore.

For this reason and for the difference of the texture, I much prefer the Creme Fraiche. Works way better lather - wise.

Why am I so finicky? I don't know

George, I've just checked the ingredients and you are correct in that buffalo is no longer included in the list.
I had Hiatus in the crème fraîche formula at the same time, a couple of years ago. At the time I definitely preferred Siero. Curious to see how the new Siero base performs.

Very happy to give me a feedback when you shave with it. Original Siero was something mythic back in 2019.

So this is the reason that the prices went down a bit.

I am enjoying the Haslinger Sheep Milk soap again after 6 years or so. It has a lingering subtle fragrance and, of course, a very rich creamy lather.

Can I ask is that the old tallow version or the newer version?

Thanks

From what I researched, no!

Am I the only one who buys one soap or five blades at a time?
