Oh, in that case I think I NEED to get one.

@todras I reek of it right now

Phew! I thought the bloody septic had overflowed again!

Who could turn down a safety razor shaped Avon aftershave bottle? It's been an ebay month, really. Even has a bit of juice left of a rather nondescript scent. My slim stands next to it for scale.

Some beautiful brushes! Congratulations @nsavage and @Greenpike .

Loft is 63mm and here it is next to a ruler...

After my first shave... I'm really liking it! The density is impressive in terms of backbone.

Thanks @Greenpike this helps a lot

I saw one of those bottles on eBay a while back and thought that it would make some people very happy, my mind drifted to wondering where I can get one of those giant display toggles and other giant razors..then I'd need some giant blades and a more giant face..

Broken my sabbatical after 14.5 months and bought a couple of brushes from @Clarky so I can at last say I've tried a synth.

Not at all. My current boar brush is an Omega 10005 which is coming to the end of its useful life as it has started splitting quite badly through the wood.
So a like for like replacement is fine in my books.

It's not like I am going to go on a massive splurge as the floodgates haven't exactly been opened fully.

Fair enough @eggbert some brushes don't last forever.

Phew! I thought the bloody septic had overflowed again!

I once spent a day and half mucking out a mate's septic. That's a scent that stays in the memory. And the clothes - we ceremonially burnt them after a very long, very hot shower.

Smells like that every day up here right now.

My TurnNShave brush I asked Milton to give me his spin on an ever ready 100T in white and transparent green with a 24mm gamechanger/boss knot set to a 53mm loft. Haven't had a proper go with it yet, but the tips feel lovely, but I might have gone a couple mm low on the loft. Time will tell. I think it looks gorgeous either way

What a great idea, I love that look!

I thought I was buying these to use in three razors. I guess for two razors is fine and you can't risk running low on blades right?
