The La Cosa Nostra smells absolutely amazing straight from the tub, with hints of tobacco, whiskey, sandalwood, vanilla and maybe something else in the background I cannot grab from my nose.

You need to share your thoughts on the performance of that soap to all of us. Scent profile is totally a winner.

Brush?

A new weapon and direction in the shaving arsenal has arrived. This will be my first usable straight and maybe my last post as I start to learn to use the Gentlemans’ Monkey.

A big thank you again to those that organised, donated the items and participated in the auction.

I apologise as the photo does not do the razor justice. Also sorry about the size of the pic, I have resized it twice but doesn't seam to make a difference.

Who would have thought that this rabbit hole could get deeper?
 
So impressed with the Slim and nostalgia of a vintage birth year razor that I had to buy a spare for the den
There have been a lot of shiny ones on the Bay but got this one coming from Bulgaria for $57 delivered

Isn't that the point of B&Ms Diamond? It is meant to smell like a freshly cut field and when lathered the beer and popcorn comes out!? :facepalm:
