Hey Mike, looking at the different scent offerings online, I bet "Green Twist" would be more my style. I like most lavender soaps but I think Brihuega is just overpowered by the Rosemary and Thyme. Wish it was just straight lavender.

Amazing performer on all levels for me though... and yes, at $35 I agree it's quite spendy!

Darn it, Paul. I'm going to have to unsubscribe from this thread. If I see one more brush handle I'll probably start making offers on every shack with a garage I find on my real estate app just so I have a place to set up the lathe.

Oooh! Promise Eric?!?

Ok Paul, you need to start making them double-time and posting them on Eric's thread.

Eric, ever think about turning out in your driveway?

A mini Jet lathe and a folding table might be a good short term solution!

I worry my self-control will weaken and I will be buying handles weekly!

Paul, that one Really looks great! I am becoming a big fan of wooden handles. Just minutes ago I was admiring this one:
