September 2021 Acquisitions

Out of the container, The Essentials smells lovely João. It's bay leaf, tobacco and bergamot.
The No.1 I sold first time round as I'm not a huge fan of rose. It's more complex than that, though.

Sorry David, I didn’t even mentioned which one I was referring
It was The Essentials tough… thank you so much

Arrived yesterday, quick and great service from Simpson. I’d have liked the yellow to have more of the black around the front apart from that they are great.

Received this beautiful Unicorn Ivory Jeffo B8 today. Thanks to a special ATG member!

Two Lemonwald SS303 handles, a black and matte silver. Hefty 70-ish grams, darn good, veeery grippy knurling. The black one has a faulty or short/shallow thread, notning a thread drill won't fix. Not that it's unusable, just not on all of the heads.

I'd been ogling those, too. They're pretty cheap.

I rarely post in here (don't know why though) so I would like to share the highlight of my September acquisitions

This picture is composed out of 66 photos, blended together to get a hyperfocused picture.
If you click on the photo, you will get the full sized version and it should be tack sharp even whilst zooming in.

Go for it, they're on a discount/sale now, i paid a bit above $8 for the black shipping included and the silver was a stand alone product, it was a bit above $3 shipping included. So for a bit above $12 total for 2xSS303 handles i still think it's a bargain. Just used the silver with my Homelike Start, and it's a major difference vs the Blackbird-alike handle it came with, even though that one is grippy enough, too.

I'll use tomorrow morning and let both of you know my first impressions. I've yet to find a SE razor, artist club or GEM, that I find comfortable to use. Fingers crossed.

Hi David,
Design elements in the handle are reminding me of a Timeless barber pole handle pattern crossed with a Carbon R2 style. Hope it shaves as good as it looks . . .
Cheers,
Nick
