Does Juniper Breeze smell anything like juniper? I ask because their Gin & Tonic doesn't smell anything like a G&T...

Not really it’s very synthetic and complex with a light woody smell

Not sure to keep it or trashed it

The more I see of that brush, the more I love it

Thanks, like the Vazon Forest brush, it's very comfortable to hold. And that Titanium knot is exceptional. It's a real lather monster.

Rolls Razor
Gem Streamline

Palmolive shave stick

Having cleaned the hone and turning it over I gave this Rolls blade about 100 laps. Not expecting too much I kept the Streamline in reserve ready to go. I was surprised to find the blade much sharper than my previous attempt, not perfect but the Streamline was not required.
