I picked up one of the smaller S-brushes the other day. Here it is whipping a storm with my V3 olive oil soap.

First impressions: This is the S-brush you want if you face lather as it splays naturally on the face.

Received my order of the NOS Polsilver, retro packaging, nice.

@khun_diddy are you going to hand out some v3.0 olive oil soap so I can start shaving with my new Fatip Piccolo

 

[chingy17]

The best option.
But there could be no issue at all remember... Weighing it is a good start.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I'll give it a weigh tomorrow and go from there

Evening all,

For absolute clarity please have a read of the below link and, in the interim, if you've any question please feel free to ask As a quick aside, now long resolved we now overfill our jars by 20g which in turn allows for the 1-month cure and subsequent dehydration (weight loss) of the soap.

With kindest regards,

Kerry.

Thanks for responding so quickly! Im excited for my first experience with your product tomorrow.
On a side note, the scent profiles on your upcoming seasonals sound AMAZING!! I really cant see myself being able to resist when the time comes. Great to have you in the soap industry

This brush looks so nice so I'm thinking about buying it for myself even if I've got Semogue 1305.

Do it!

Haha! That was my thought as I read the post: I must get some Star Noir!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It certainly sounds as if it's been a roller coaster ride for you @Kerry@Phoenix&Beau
The cure time sounds a wise move. I've recently heard of another soap maker curing their soap for 30 (or was it 60?) days. But I guess they're walking off the shelves at the moment! [emoji6]

 

[Kerry@Phoenix&Beau]

Thanks chaps, we've had an excellent first 5.5 months but it certainly hasn't been without its challenges. All good, though Thanks so much for your custom and support. Kerry.

Woo. Very nearly bought one of those. Very nice looking.

See the post above the quoted one here for all the reason you need to buy it now.

Delivery time.
Received two more bottles of Gucci - Nobile.
Also receives my shipment of blades.
Am disappointed that the boxes the tucks come in are damaged/cut down to fit into the shipping box.
Will count the tucks when I arrive home, as some were floating around loose in the shipping box.

The bubble wrap for international orders was implemented after a rather unfortunate incident I had with a smashed pot of 'Fourth and Pine' and a saturated box that smelled awesome.....

Beaudelaire smells amazing. Dark, ferny, manly. Can't wait to slap it on my face....

Many thanks @shavetheman

Great mail call!!! [emoji41]

If there's any Beaudelaire left, I'm hoping that @shavetheman brings some along on Sunday for us to compare... It's looking to be an expensive (but excellent!!!) day. [emoji16]

Nice one, @Sxot. I love Antesol. I've used it daily for about a month now.
The label says that you can use it both pre and post shave; this is what I do. I only use a small amount (less than I would normally use for an A/S splash).
The stuff works.
