Not sure how much of a bargain this is - and it might be limited to the US - but this guy is selling NOS/NIB Wilkinson Light Brigade two-packs.
If you buy at least ten of them he will do it for $1.50/pack.
I picked up 10 (20 blades) for $15 as I've always wanted to at least try these out - and I'm thinking if I don't find them particularly good I can maybe sell the remaining 19 ones for $10-15 :)

Not shaving related - but if you wear jeans this might be of interest.
Gustin's US Labour Day sale is probably the lowest I've seen for their handmade Cone/Japanese jeans - $69/$79 respectively - and they do ship internationally :wink:

These are selvedge jeans - a bit about that here if you're curious
How Gustin works

Oh, and if you order - do use their sizing guide. Most stores do use vanity sizing :wink:




Me, I ordered/funded their heavy coffee chino pants that I'm rather excited about :)
12oz chinos.

I do indeed sir, its hard to get good denim in my size. My old routine was trips to new york but it seems many vendors and boutique even in the states have taken the european path of sizing low. Which is a mental choice as the waist line of the people in the US and the UK isn't shrinking lol. Ok rant over

Couldn't sell too many over there then! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Seriously though, they do look the part, good weave and unlike other denim, unlikely to "get you" behind the knees when crouching down. I stopped wearing denim for that reason.

The Japanese selvedge denim is woven on old style shuttle looms the fabric is much more narrow so with the less is more ideal is associated with premium quality. To be honest its not everyone's cup of tea as it's so rigid lol. It is what's called self-finished denim where the edges are finished in a way so they ensures the fabric won't unravel. It s usually has a red or orange woven edge. you'll see the colour if you roll a leg up. In most other types of denim they need to finish leg seems with overlooking. So selvedge denim is super hard-wearing and easily repaired. Plus it's the mutz nuts for its looks IMHO. and here the lesson endith lol

Just backed this $9 beanie :)

It's gone from 20% to 75% funded in three hours so I'm assuming it will sell out today

This link will give you $5 off - making it a $4 beanie :D

Comes in navy/natural and black/grey

Update:
Oops that was quick.. The light coloured one sold out in about five hours and it seems like the dark coloured one might last another hour or so.

Being a huge fan of the Darn Tough socks (life time warranty and Merino wool) I'm slowly replacing all my non-dress socks with theirs so I just picked up a three-pack on Massdrop :)
This longer model normally sell for about $17-20 a pair so $37 for three felt like a decent bargain...and, well, winter is coming.
Not sure what UK shipping would do to this deal though.
