    Andrew - As a new member I'd love to get one of those brushes if they are still available. I'd be happy with any of them but I'm especially interested in the Ever-ready and the Yaqi Evil Zebra! Thank you!

    :signs011: I'm in agreement with you there. Very good soap. I have only experienced one scent (raspberry lemon) and I think it's pre-reformulation. What scents do you currently have, and which and why did you move the others on?

    Fortunately OC is back in vogue with many new makers doing 3pc, TTO, and DOC's. I wonder why Gillette changed to guard bars. Less expensive manufacturing?

    Not sure if anyone else has already made the request but as a newbie I'd love to get the razor if it is still available!

    Thank you Andrew.
    These remain:
    Mystic Water Irish Traveller
    Mystic Water Jasmine
    Mystic Water Jeff's Lavender
    Mystic Water Lilac
    Mystic Water Sandalwood Rose
    Mystic Water Vetiver & Oakmoss

    These I got rid of:
    Bay Rum (Just didn't smell like Bay Rum)
    Barbershop (There are far better available; Mike's, for example)
    Lime (WAYYYY too sweet; like a limesicle...:rolleyes005:)

    Marrakesh (I like Patchouli, but not to shave with)
    Poggio dei Pini (Not a huge Pine fan; again on my face)
    Yellow Rose (I have too many Rose soaps and this one didn't make the cut)

    "I'm keeping my non-RAD eyes open for one in the wild, but they are rare besties."
    I'll keep my out for one...:)

    Enjoyable photo of Declan! Good shave and photo. I got TONS of slick and shiny lather this morning with the big Stirling Kong brush. Basically super-gooped in loading and it delivered. Pretty good soap. Inexpensive but good quality.

    I'll agree with you there, nice and slick. I probably rinsed half a bowl of lather down the drain. Just not quite as dense as say Stirling or some of the other better artisans. Stirling makes yoghurt like super goop while the WTP was probably more like whipped cream.
