This is another one of the soaps I pif'd to my friend which got returned to me...but since I'm a huge fan of this scent combination, I'm happy to have it.
I also have shaver heaven "peppermint plus", which is basically the same scent.
The Yaqi silvertip fan shape is my favorite silvertip. What a killer brush at such a bargain price!!
