Love me some sandalwood.
This was a prize from the r/Wetshaving lathergames on reddit back in June. I think I placed 28th or something. Vida from Chicago Grooming Co included an EdP which is yet to be released which I’m stoked with.

Does a generous PIF pass as an acquisition?

That will still shave awesome. Prefer this handle over the ball type. You'll love the blade feel and shave it gives

Forgot to include these which I picked up Friday (on an essential trip to the office) -

Purchased from Saison who I've never used before but had a particular perfume I wanted for my wife - so I threw these in as well.

The Acca Kappa 1869 gets the WAF, the ODE not so much. Both in 15ml for travel use when I can (the ODE when NOT traveling with my wife)

The Gallivant samples largely just to be reminded of travel ...

No knocking Graydog's brushes @SpeedyPC as he's a master wood turner and all round legend!

I also find that 1869 is popular with the fairer sex.

That’s a big massive loft, look about 75mm like a floppy paint brush

It's a piggy-wig, it won't be floppy.

65 cm loft, 55cm handle., far from a floppy paint brush, more like a soft broom with plenty of backbone

looks like it’s gonna be an awesome brush

Wait until you have been using the brush for at least two or three months, and the backbone will started to weaken like a paint brush.
