Finally! I acquired a NOS MEM English Leather Shave Bowl Refill. It has barely any scent, but I have some MEM English Leather AS that I may slowly feed to the soap puck to boost the scent a little. I had previously purchased a (supposedly)NOS English Leather Shave Bowl. It didn't end up being NOS and had the wrong soap in the bowl.

The Truefitt & Hill Rose shaving cream was just a cheap deal I stumbled into. Too cheap not to pick up, especially since I hadn't previously tried T&H. The rose scent is subtle, but very nice. I have several other rose scented soaps and creams in the "collection."

I got a backup tube of original Acqua di Parma Colonia shaving cream.

I recently received the Thater 4125/4 and the Chubby 2 in Faux Ivory (the handle looks better than it photographs). For me, these brushes are BIG! I included the Whipped Dog 22 mm synthetic for perspective. Along with my 26 mm DO1 Shavemac, I should be set for brushes for a long time. Thanks CHSeifert

I just received some vintage shaving soaps and creams, which I mainly bought for the Cussons soaps. I'll PIF some of the other items that I'll never use, such as the brushless cream.

Outstanding customer service as always from Mark. Only ordered this CH2 Manchurian in sapphire mid afternoon, yesterday and thought it had missed the post. Totally shocked to see it arrive, this morning.

The handle is stunning. The photo does it no justice.

Stunning is the right word.

I followed the lead of a few fellow members and purchased a 30mm LS brush. Though it is mightily stinky (still has a strong animal smell after 7 lathers with my strongest smelling soaps), I am impressed with the brush - beautiful knot, strong backbone, excellent flow-through, and an OK handle...

Did not use it in an actual shave, so cannot really determine how "scritchy"/scratchy/scrubby the brush is.
