Sadly my package from B&B has been stuck with Amarex/Fastaway all day and since the driver missed his schedule, hopefully arriving tomorrow...?
Well this is embarrassing as I just checked tracking and surprised to find the package outside:
First impressions are great as the SS finish is wonderful and size/weight feels great... Can't wait for the morning shave!
Who would've thought the Rocca would prove so popular judging by the recent acquisitions!

Sadly B&B don't offer the Birch Bark and I wasn't prepared to wait for an overseas order...
To their credit they provide excellent customer service with next day delivery and a good price if you factor in the generous 10% discount.

Amarex/Fastaway had this little package well hidden outside today. Was like an easter egg hunt trying to find where they’d left it!

Nice combo, they will work well together.

Well at least everybody doesn’t have one like those Wolfmans.
Extra special mail call today:
The Two Kings are backups in case I run out in next year's sabbatical. The Rawr smells great, but the second tub is a mistake. I only ordered one, so I'm going to have to get in touch with B&B to give them some more money.

How long do you reckon the average 4oz tub would last if shaving with it exclusively (daily shaving)?Extra special mail call today:

I used a tub of Seville almost exclusively for 6 months (5-6) shaves per week, and still probably have 1/4 left.
Depends on the soap. Last time I did that, I got through an entire tub of Cheshire in just over 6 weeks, 7 days/week with heavy loading for face and head.
My NO soaps might wear a tad more quickly, and my one WK donkey milk might last a year or more.
One backup for the 2K would ordinarily have been enough, but as you will have seen, they're not necessarily available when you want them. I may or may not sell off the extra tub of Rawr, depends on how much I like it.
I'm counting how many days it takes for B&B to sell out of Noble Otter this time... 
I was browsing the Vshod site on Wednesday arvo, and saw this little beauty on the bargains page and couldn't resist. (OMEGA 11047 - Mixed Badger / Boar Hair ). It's tiny!
Ordered a couple of tucks of Nacet and one of 7 O'Clock as well; the order arrived today and they threw in an extra tuck! Can't fault Vshod (great service as usual) nor Aus Post on this one.
. Different from any scented soap or a/s I have so looking forward to it. Definitely a light summer scent and departure from my usual musk tones.

Model R1 Titan
@rbscebu , the Titans looked interesting so I thought I'd give one a go.
Not quite shave ready out the box but that's to be expected.
Interesting razor, quite hefty/solid. It feels quite wide in the hand. The blade sits securely with its pin.
Looking forward to seeing how it takes an edge.
The box is a nice touch with a nifty little pinned latch. It comes with mini strop. Not sure whether I'll use it but the leather feels nice so I'll probably try it.
