Oh boy. My rose essential oils and hydrosol arrived. I'm going to divide the hydrosol into smaller bottles and add a drop of a different oil to each hydrosol bottle. Then I can try adding a couple drops of a mixture to my shaving lathers - sandalwood, fougeres, tobaccos, colonias, etc. to jazz them up a bit. This is going to be fun.

Tallow & Steel Sicily Set and a cheapy SS handle of the bay

This was a Reverse Acquisition.

I managed to trick a friend into accepting most of a tub of Captain's Choice Bay Rum soap ...

... and most of a small bottle of Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum AS.



I received both as part of a PIF a few months ago, and soon learned that while the soap is a good performer, I just cannot stand the scent of any Bay Rum product.
Instead of dumping it down the drain, I found a victim new PIFee who says he loves Clubman aftershaves in general.
This also frees up valuable space in my shave den.

Today's arrival -- soap from Canada and brush from Maryland.   The brush is an Arley 28, Brad Sears Estate Badger knot, Briarwood & Ebony.
