Meet-up with @todras on Saturday - thank you again so much my friend

Hang on, hang on, I would have thought you'd be buying your namesake??!!

Picked up on ebay very cheap. 1x Gillette &1x unknown. Didn't want another bloody Tech but took a chance on the MM Clogpruf although it looked pretty rough or damaged. It arrived and is undamaged and no plate loss, just needs a clean. Will give it a proper clean up and pretty happy with it.

Does that Tech have etched Gillette marking on the cap and a brass handle? If so, it could be a 1967 Sportman Tech. A nice little (hefty) razor.

Elegance with a capitol "E". Very nice.

Whoops - in the "Individual Variants" photo, I forgot these (criminal!)

A big Whoops!

I'm afraid not, just a lightweight aluminium, oh well

Haven't been buying much lately, did get this from the Stray Whisker, smells awesome

Not shave related but I got the pit boss deodorant today after reading a few positive reviews.

A few items from the Stray Whisker turned up yesterday, including some more summer weather soaps. I'm most excited about Petrichor.

How is Solarion? Ive looked at it a few times on TSW and read so little about it that it intrigues me.

Not really as much backbone as I want but when the tips start hooking its an incredibly soft brush.

@Adam - been using this for almost 12 months now. It has blitzed any previous deodorant I have tried.

Nice! I think you gave us warning of this. Now wishing I had taken notice.

On the plus side it shares similarities with 'Bay City' which you will have in the next week or so, Blackberry Blossom Bay (like Petrichor) is a spring scent though whereas I have gone for an Australian winter fragrance with a little more depth due to the time of year.

Would you mind bringing these CL products for a 'scratch and sniff' (so to speak) along to the meet up on Saturday @todras ?
