This is one configuration I have been looking forward to trying after seeing the "Vintage NEW head on TSW Bren handle" feature regularly in @Mark1966 rotation. I knew it must be a good combination.
Had hoped to achieve this with brass New LC and Karve handle but the Canadian New must have a different thread again - Finally have it with 7 O'clock and RazoRock Bulldog Handle - no buffing today

Who can tell me what the grungy truffle scent is in the base of some products?
Gael Laoch has this off the puck and post shave but dissipates into a sweet citrus smell quickly. I must admit I enjoy the grunginess reminds me of good Feta and Truffles but glad it dissipates.
Base notes are Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, Lavandin

Vetiver, and also the tallow, is yours the Kodiak or Aon base?

Lavender Patch is a winner..prefer this over Stirling Bergamot Lavender. Probably the best soap base I have.

I'm looking forward to trying the Lavender Patch myself. I'm telling myself I have to use up my TAS Lavender Patch first, and I still have another tub to go... :eek: Agree, I might get burned as a heretic for seeing this, but I think @CraigE's base probably is superior to Stirling.

Might be a silly question; a steep angle atg is riding the cap or the guard? Always get confused once directions are reversed.
