You put a rose soap/cream sample in TP&CTB1 @Mark1966. Run or of the original already?

 

[borked]

Klar Kabinett should fit the bill @Mark1966 and apparently not a half bad soap to boot!

It would have been a sample I had - or some of a purchase I then onsold !

But @stillshunter tells me I don't have to use a rose soap

...well if you do, then let it be Morny's "June Roses" or pack the whole thing in....

..either that, or sell it, along with the razors that no longer have their cases, blades and pamphlets included.

If you check out the avatars on this site you'd think it was dedicated to the muppet show.

That's what you get for rounding up people on the balcony instead of posting nice SOTD pics

@stillshunter give him an opportunity to use it first

I have it and the Reef Point is great stuff, Stillshunter has a sample from me and he loves it.

Actually I absolutely love it @SydBJW . It and their Submariner. A must have on both!
IMHO: Reef Point and CRSW are the best of the yank soaps by a country mile! The only suds from the septics that can stand among many a European offering. Again IMHO!

 

[borked]

Even B&M ?

 

[stillshunter]

Even B&M ?

For me, yes certainly mate. But caveat emptor IMHO.

Nice package today from Wolf Whiskers. As everyone says - the photos don't do the brushes justice. They are very very nice. Can't wait to shave!

 

[alfredus]

Beautiful brushes @possumbelly - congratulations!

Just test lathered up some Mike's. Ubersoft 2 knots. Very dense. Should be good!

What's the difference between the two brushes mate....beyond the obvious colour of the handles?

Same knot in each. 24mm synthetic Ubersoft 2 set at 51-52mm loft. As he won't ship animal hair knots I had to decide between TGN, Ubersoft 1 or 2. Took a punt. Wasn't sure how else to vary them at this stage.
