The Haul: March 2016

It was a good day at the mailbox

The brush was $2.76 delivered. Best eBay deal I've had in a while.

I couldn't pass this one up for the price either.

 

and I find it totally neat that is made by a Higgins, wish I could find more about him.
we could be related.

 

I got some software and some hardware today.

 

I think I'll like it. I like your idea of leaving soap in. It's up tomorrow for its first run.
Thanks again

 

Excellent!! I have been a cucumber user (3 bottles straight) and now I'm using Rose Petals and I must say its now my favorite. Fantastic brush & Old Type.

 

Stick with it! I think you'll be happy down the road.

 

I use rose petal and lavender. Both are amazing.

 

I really like the Rose Petal too

 

Lavender is my flavor I'll try after my 2 bottles I have run out of Rose and Cucumber.

 

Is there such thing as EdTAD?

Pretty sure Ive got it...

 

That is one gorgeous repeater.

 

Lovely brush

 

What does the Burley one smell like? Pine?

 

I'm not good at describing scents but I did find two descriptions that are very similar.
Here's the first one:

Top Notes - Bergamot, Lemon, Clary Sage
Heart Notes - Rose, Orris, Ylang Ylang, Muguet, Angelica, Carnation
Base Notes - Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver, Leather, Cistus, Olibanum

And the second one:

Top Notes - Bergamot, Lemon, Aldehydes, Petit Grain, Clary Sage
Heart Notes - Rose, Iris, Carnation, Ylang Ylang, Angelica, Lily of the Valley
Base Notes - Patchouli, Russian Leather, Vetiver, Cistus, Frankincense, Musk

 

Sounds very "fresh woodsy". Nice.

 

Received these two brushes yesterday - a Held-Tite and (the one on the right) is a brand I've never seen before "Set-in-titE":

My small American vintage brush collection is slowly growing...:
​

 

Oh, my goodness...

 

Looks fantastic - can't wait to get mine and take it for a spin
Btw, I rather like it w/out any knurling. Nice and clean. Very "Pils".

 

Wait until they get in a rumble with the New Forest gang. There will be hair everywhere.
