Beautiful, Dmitri. I so much regret having to give up straights and selling my CK77. You will love it.

Thanks David!
Congrats on new EUFROS! Curious what aroma of Incienso?

Thank you, Dmitri, but you've got me. I'm useless at describing scents like this, especially as it's the first sole incense soap I've smelled. Mustafa should be receiving his, any day now. He'll be very specific.

I need to decide what the second soap thrust in a package from Manuel.
I have a Rose Bourbon, Kasbah and Tobacco. Coming soon is another limited edition, the parcel should be supplemented by a second soap, so I think.
I really like Rose Bourbon and Kasbah. I expected that Tobacco is the noble aroma of cigars, but smells sweet gum for me.

A couple vintage wooden bowls. So I can transfer soaps from the Grundtal tins - or maybe I just need to buy more soaps...

This is the Kriss Kross DE Blade Stropper (original box). The leather is in relatively poor condition, but it’s still very cool. IMHO

Dmitri, Tobacco scent is actually the tobacco flower and not tobacco as smoked, such as MW Sweet Briar. Alt-Innsbruck cologne also falls in to this category and is a perfect match for Manuel's soap.
I used Incienso, this morning, and it is an excellent scent. I'm not experienced with incense, but I really enjoyed it.
Fougère is strongly recommended.

I should have the cool fix from shaveworks sitting at home waiting for me. I've heard some very good things about this aftershave so I'm willing to give it a try!

Tallow Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soaps

Received an order from Merchant & Rhoades today, and I’m impressed by their service. I wanted to order a backup set of Barrister and Mann’s Beaudelaire, and they were the only place I could find that had both the soap and the splash.

When I later realized that I had been just a few dollars short of free shipping, they let me place an additional order (for Barrister and Mann’s Latha Original and Sapone Di Paolo’s Pulito soaps), and then refunded the shipping costs on both orders.

Finally, when I received my combined orders today, included was a hand-written note, along with scent samples from Floris and Penhaligon’s. What can I say — customer service at its finest, from a merchant (pun only slightly intended) I had never done business with previously.

Just got news that my two newest razors are finished by Ulrik


7/8" full hollow double shoulder, inspired by the famous #14 blades. This one has a satin finish on the hollow ground and a polished forgestructure on the tang. The outlines are mirrorpolished. The scales are made of golden dragon Juma.
