So what's the go with Daniel? Are we knot sure the butterscotch gathering would be approved?

Better slap myself with a fine!

Doesn't seem to be much distancing going on with those brushes - and not a mask in sight ...
 
I've got captains blend soap. Been tossing up buying the Puros soap too. Its not quite JUST pipe tabacco is it?

I cant say exactly how the soap smells as I only have the splash and this is amazing. It is predominantly a cured tobacco scent but is deeper than that, it has notes of musk, leather, vanilla and tonka bean also. If you like tobacco scents you should love Puros
 
Merkur 42c
Personna Lab blue (3)
Edwin Jagger "Cooling Menthol" Shave Cream sample
TF P&C Platypus 26mm fan
Nivea ASB
Armani Code

Had time so it was a great shave. This cream isn't bad at all - not far off being as good as TOBS, my benchmark in creams. Very little scent - just a nice menthol blast to wake me up winter - and now one less sample hanging around. BTW Armani Code isn't a favourite - one of those things that was bought for me so I'm just trying to get rid of it. Still an excellent result though...

Sorry... I can't share you a belt during the COVID19 pandemic, otherwise, we will infected our own entire suburb.

Not gonna lie, it’s really tempting. I got my tax refund already
You mean your $750 COVID19 pandemic free government money :smuggrin: towards your stainless steel Karve ;)
