El Druida makes really fantastic brushes, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you ask him about a custom made brush for your collection. It takes a while for him to make it, but it’s worth the wait :)

First wintery day in Perth. Bring out the Winterfell. Also as a commemoration for @todras dropping the new scents today.

Still stands up a year later as a hell of a quality kit. The Rockwell 6C is pretty amazing too. Funny how I keep getting vintage razors really...

Oh no, the APR soap is upside down!

Is that like back masking, or the Beatles walking across the crossing without shoes?

What does this mean? Is @todras safe or is this a secret sign and we should be worried? Was the 'release' the the winter scents today fair dinkum or just 'proof of life'?

Or am I simply reading too much into this?

Thanks for noticing :) Purchased there on a trip in 2010/11 - the shaving Mecca of the western world!

Winterfall (cough HBO cough) Winterfall people :LOL:

If people want full colour stickers for Winterfall, and they are prepared to pay postage, send me a PM in a few days and I will get a set out to you.
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Martin De Candre Fougère
Razor: Wilkinson Sword "Sticky"
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Alt Innsbruck Emulsion
Scent: Erik Kormann Dezember

Cracking shave. Lovely lather from the MDC, applied to my bonce via the super-soft tips of the Savile Row 3824.
Three passes for a DFS+. I love my Sticky. It is a beautiful design, and a great shaver. Whilst mild, if you pair it with a sharp blade such as a vintage Wilkie (which it was designed for) or a Polsilver, it is surprisingly efficient.

Hahaha
That's Gold!!
 
Pre: my lemon Myrtle pre shave oil
Rockwell R4 w/Polsilver
Razorock Bruce synth
Artisan beta soap
Anherb balm

Another soap test and another great lather! I really loved the fresh, herbal scent on it!!

The load time was a bit longer as I swirled for 15 seconds and it still hadn't thickened up in the tub so I swirled a bit more and it was ready to go.

Nice, creamy lather. I think the other ones I used are newer formulas and easier to lather up compared to this one.
