My buddy Eric was selling the Yates in the BST and I thought it would be a fun one to add to my Yates collection. The "bead-blast" finish is nice! Very rich and exotic (just like Eric). I wasn't sure I'd like this super long/skinny handle, but somehow it balances perfectly and works. Plus, it could double as a baseball bat or car jack. The brush is new to me as well and was highly enjoyable. Super dense, yet soft. Glad I snagged this one. I used the last of the Birch & Root sample Paul @Mr.Doug gave me. What a great scent! Thanks again Paul. And finished things off with McDuff's Old Sea Captain which has a light spice/musk/bay scent. It's very enjoyable. Love the post shave of all the McDuff stuff. Quickly becoming my favorite software provider.
Birch & Root is great. FWIW Autumn cabin is even better IMO. Perhaps it's a bit late for Autumn, but I think it's a great cold weather scent anyway.
“Autumn Cabin” does sound inviting Mike! Currently, McDuff’s “Winter Cabin” is a huge hit at the Trotter house. Mrs Trot and Daughter Trot have awarded it the best scent in Papa Trots Den by a landslide margin. I had no choice but to purchase a backup of the splash. It’s that good.
Thanks for the 411 Paul. I believe you that it is exceptional, so I just checked all three US stockists and MacDuff's site. None of them has Winter Cabin. C'est la vie.
