You should check out www.maggardrazors.com They are well priced, particularly in the states. The B&M range is cheap in the states. And Maggards has a synthetic brush that is supposed to be good. [emoji4]
I've checked out Maggard and love what they do, but still not there yet. This is an expensive hobby on the front end, unlike my cigars which are just expensive period.
 
Found this lot waiting for me when I got home!

After a test lather:

The knot feels amazing, can't wait to use it. I thought the colour may be a bit full on, but in real life it looks great. And the handle is awesome to hold.

Nice. I once thought that to get one of these you just needed a wad of cash. I now understand you need a wad of cash, a freight forwarder to ignore the rules, a sleepless night, a fast finger/computer/internet, patience and a whole lot of luck. Well done.

A Paladin is on the shaving bucket list, along with other near unobtainium.
 
Had a quick sniff and the leather is dominant hoping the juniper and tobacco comes out while lathering. Looking forward to giving it a go after seeing your lather pictures of it.
@Osman - this is a soap that interests me, so look forward to your comments after use.
 
Ahhh, so THAT is where they went!

Congrats and enjoy :)
Am frustrated with that seller.
Asked the same day about a price for buying all of them, they responded, asking for my address to organise a quote... and nothing!
Sent a few courtesy reminders, nothing!
Now it appears the last four have also sold, hope it's you.
