New Shave Bowl arrived day early, from AliExpress. Honestly they kept me in the loop as it move from their facility to Airport, to USA, and last to Lizard Acres. Only grip is they did not put any packing in Box so the Trip netted Small Chip, that would have been prevent with cushioning material. But was still a under $7.00 F.O.B. Destination.IMG_4771.jpeg
 
Two packages landed. One from Spain and the other a local delivery. Manuel kindly included a sample of Rosa-Oud (which I have seen described as his "masterpiece"). I'm not normally a fan of rose scents, as I tend to find them cloying, but the darkness of the oud really gives this some depth and weight. Performance, of course, will be superb. The Tobacco is a very dry, green scent that I'll be thrashing over the cooler months. I picked up the Proraso Green as it was on special and I have not previously tried it...

Okay my acquisition disorder might have got a little out of hand recently. And I have one more razor on the way too.
I blame @Hosay18 for the Filomatic and the one razor on the way. His reviews and photos are just to good and I couldn't resist buying the razors after reading them and seeing all those wonderful pictures. Thank you very much Hosay. And the #58 set is @brit fault while I'm pointing fingers. Thank you Sir for your wonderful contributions to the shave community.

Thank you. I looked up the #59, the razor looks very similar to my Rocket HD. Is the razor different?
I'll have to go through my Aristocrats and ID them. I can't keep what ones I have straight. I plan on making little labels to put in with my razors to help with that.
