    The heads are still in the prototype stage. I'm working on a closed and open comb simultaneously. Once the standard heads are done, I'm going to start playing with blade gaps so as to be able to offer multiple options for aggressiveness. The handles are still being polished. I have about 50 done, but I don't want to release them until I have more. I just don't want people getting mad or accusing me of trying to create an artificial shortage. We're only going to be charging between 65-75 for the handles, which sounds high, but compared to others is actually quite cheap. Especially given how many hours it takes to get just one to a mirror finish.

    Have you tried sniffing coffee beans before smelling the scent?

    Had my first crack at Stirling shave soap this morning. Very nice!!!! (Barbershop). Pairs well with Clubman aftershave. (The B-shop, that is).

    I enjoyed some orange chill for the first time today thanks to the soap passaround! Love that freeze!

    Mita us still my favorite cold soap, but I hope they can do a "gin and tonic on the rocks" and has been mentioned before.

    I tried Orange Chill last week for the first time. Too much chill for me - just not a heavy menthol kinda guy. Will try it a again in the summer.

    If you like that level of menthol, try the Iced Pineapple. If you have ever dried pineapples in a dehydrator, that soap smells just like them when they are still warm. It is just fantastic.
