Your aftershave is getting very low and grim and is your fragrance half full or nearly half empty?

Soap: B&M Nordost (last of the sample)
Brush: Platypus
Razor: Leaf
The Leaf has not seen light of day for some time and it can go away again for a while. Very effective shave and great when your face needs a rest, just not as much fun as some other razors except when you get to snap some blades in half and load the thing…….that’s pretty cool.
Welcome to the Platypus club @Holiday . Pretty sure you won’t be sorry. I too was the beneficiary of one being moved on and I love mine. Very nice brush.
When I first got the Nordost sample I didn’t think I’d miss it when it ran out……… but now…….

I always like it when these platypi come up, I think they're without doubt the most lovely TF brushes I've seen. I don't normally go in for badgers, but as I mentioned earlier, I would have made an exception, but @Holiday snapped it up within 20 minutes of the offer. The fastest man won...

I had two for a while, I think I moved the second on here.

Oh, I still have two - but one is a pig
