I struggled with the softness of her Original range when I tried them a couple of years ago. Hoping her Signature and new Traditional range are more user friendly.
Haven't tried it yet but the scent is a dead ringer for Imperial Leather soap. As it's designed to be.
Wow... Blackship aftershave is awesome, great scent strength. Will see if it lasts.
Lavanille is a must for anyone that likes a leathery vanilla scent.
Baudelaire I'll write a review on. I put on some splash to see how it settles on my skin, and keep getting a whiff. Impressed.
@borked has a few but may not what to sell...If anyone has any night music they want to sell though
kicking myself now I didn't buy some at the time. Plenty more soap in the sea I guess
It's certainly unique! Looks great once you shined it up.Evening Lads
Well I scored a small Boar Brush the other day real cheap and was wondering what I would end up with on receiving it. I was surprised as described it does have a solid brass handle and appeared to have been used very little. Whether it is a one off not sure but possible may well have been turned by someone and the Boar added as choice I am not sure. It has no marking but shows enough to believe it is old. I had got it to a point yesterday where I had cleaned and polished it noting to clean the boar hairs thoroughly and did give a go this morning for my SOTD (Modial Mandarine Soap / Feather AS D1 / Vodskhod Blade). I then today had a further go at it and this is the before and after now having finished where I think it is looking good.
I used my Semogue 1250 as a comparison in size
The actual size is as follows: Head to Toe 96mm - Head 50mm - Boar 46mm - Knot Base 8.2mm
If anything, that increases longevity, as your perspiration brings it back to the surface and hydrates it again.
Not until @Barrister & Mann does another batch!
Mate, may want to be more careful with the reflection upon shiny metal items...
Mail Call: Semogue 620
Stopped by my work this afternoon to pick up this little beauty that I missed on Friday. I chose this one because I like face lathering and I've heard the 620 is a good brush for that.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it improves with use and seeing what this whole boar brush thing is about!
Cheers mate! Good to hear they live up to the reputation.
Thanks @FatBoy58 ! Looking forward to giving it a run in the morning.
Thanks! That's what I've heard. I kind of like the idea that you need to go through a bit of discomfort to "earn" the lovely softness.
