Very nice
Did you already use it?
I got one with the same new platinum fibers but I had to return it, use it twice and it looses to many fibers…hopefully you will not have this issue.
It was beautiful, with Patriot handle, and I really like this new knot.

Thank you!

I used it today-seems to be a lottery.

Chubby 1 platinum was fine.

Duke 3 platinum shed about a dozen on first use.

Chubby 2 platinum was just fine as well.

I’m not too concerned. If the Duke 3 falls apart it falls apart, and I’ll put something else in it. I think they all compare favorably against my 21 and 23mm STF. Less floppy I think. To me they feel more dense, although I should probably try a 25mm STF at some point.

Tough to put my finger on why I like them better, but I do.

Been using the latest Ultima 2 base for a while now and it's superb. The new presentation with wider diameter glass jar is an added bonus.

The center gift set is a Drakkar Noir clone. The other two are interesting... I picked them up at Five Below while I was shopping for candy and snacks.

Invincible Extreme (left) by Mirage Brands is a budget-friendly dupe or smell-alike for Paco Rabanne Invictus Intense.

• • Fragrance Family: Woody Aromatic / Aromatic Fougere.
  • Key Notes: Features an invigorating blend of crisp aquatic notes, dynamic citrus, subtle floral undertones, and a light musky or woody base.
  • Aesthetic: Designed to mimic classic sporty blue fragrances (evoking comparisons to styles like Polo Blue), though with a simpler, more synthetic composition typical of economy-tier lines.

New Yaqi's Final Cut OC arrived 2 days ago. The older model is to the rear in the photo.
Shaved with it twice so far. It is nothing like the old model. The shave is excellent, and I would recommend it for anyone looking for an efficient and smooth shave.

My small razor collection has grown with the addition of some wonderful razors.

A Stahly Live Blade Model S-6 in excellent working condition, showing minimal signs of use.

A King Oscillator in excellent condition. Although the cardboard box is missing, but comes with 9 new blades (with a tenth one already installed in the razor).

Lovely one this.

Just arrived.

Maggard G5 knot arrived last night.

Did the re-reset of my first Muhle brush handle this morning-a Vivo in horn resin. Had planned to order a STF knot but didn’t see any in 20mm.

Was better prepped this time around.

I also tried out Flitz polish for the first time. There was a point very early when I could have stopped, to preserve the logo, but it said “black fibre” anyway so I went ahead and polished it out.

Mail call,
£10 from the Bay, it has no box and is unused.
I'll take that all day long and I noticed the ship is different to what I have already so a bonus.

These are the mallard based soaps from 2024, and they are very good - but now unobtainable, unless you're able to find someone who has these and wants to sell them on.
