Yep :)

I found the old eBay order for the razor too btw. I paid about $110 with the case and instructions. Possibly on the expensive end, but it is an early model (patent pending), and is in pristine condition (razor looks brand new). It's possibly now my favourite razor, so I'm happy with the price :)

Brush was about $80 all up from G&C. Bargain.

How is that brush? I've been eyeing off it off for a little while now but can't decide between it or one of the various semogue silver tips.

I don't feel qualified to answer as I've only used it twice! [emoji14] (It's on loan from @MrT) It is a beautiful brush.

Perhaps @MrT or @stillshunter or @borked could provide you with a more expansive reply.
 
Last shave before the holiday tomorrow.
Used the Fatboy with Glacial Obsidian, Omega 10005 and a vintage Gillette of some kind, with B&M Arctique splash to finish it off.

My next two weeks worth of shaves will consist of
Slim
Vintage Gillette Rubie
Un-named tiny boar vintage travel brush from my cheapo as chips vintage travel shaving kit (see below)
Speick stick in the other tubular container

@Osman what's this shave soap Vetiver & Neroil like at I've already got Summer Breeze and Sweet Almond Milk

Mine is just a Neroli scent but the performance is top notch as are all Shaver Heaven soaps. Scent is purely a personal choice but all Shaver Heaven soaps perform wonderfully. Neroli is a scent from the blossom of a bitter orange( according to wikipedia). It is quite a pleasurable scent for me.

@Osman very very interesting thank you for sharing this with me.

Neroli Oil is highly prized for its amazing scent and its therapeutic properties promoting relaxation and providing relief from anxiety and stress and to assist sleep

OT:- I am suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for more than 35 years, and I might give this a try IF this product can keep me calm while I'm shaving at the same time either way this would be very interesting.............Thank you @Osman ;) Thank you.

The only badger I like.

I'd hoped this place was free from such none-sense - especially from you @stillshunter ???

Please:
Only XXXXX I HAVE TRIED I like. (XXXXX can be a badger, vegan soap,....)

If I'm wrong: please send over some of the M&F's, Ronneys, Shavemacs, Simpson 2-bands - basically @unobtainium81 brush collection for me to try :ROFLMAO:

Seriously mate. Of course it is only my personal opinion but I prefer boar brushes. Only badger I have liked as much so far is the Semogue SOC 2 band. ...though to be fair I have only tried Whipped Dog, TGN Finest reknot, Simpsons x4, shavemac and Thater. Never used a Rooney, M&F, Wolf Whisker, Donkey Balls, Kent, Epsilon, etc.
 
Those Donkey Balls @stillshunter pretty hard to obtain I hear.
 
Hey @unobtainium81 I hear you're a year older...
Congratulations upon that and may there be many more :)
 
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Sticky
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (?)
Soap/Cream: Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Shaving Soap/Cream
Aftershave: Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Splash
