    Waiting on this little NF Silvertip brush in a handle shape that I didn't already have. Looking forward to it!

    Not in. Still looking to a Merkur Progress, Gillette Sheraton, and a modern stainless razor. Fragrances are my current weakness. I couldn't pass this razor up at the price.

    You're not going to be able to "see the forest for all the trees"... Ah, I mean brushes. How many is that now? And do you have em all yet?

    I managed to win an auction for a prototype New Forest brush (one of 5 made). Picture from the NF site 2010

    Slow at work so went to retroshaveshop to take another look at the scent profiles and decided to try out two that looked interesting.

    I have the bourbon jungle....love it! The scent IMHO is outstanding, it does have a nice staying power but not strong enough to interfere with your after shave.
    It later up real nice....and easy. Great cushion and slickness.
    I think you'll be happy with your purchase....enjoy.

    I'm waiting on my first "wosty" it's a near wedge. sporting a 3/4" blade with a pronounced barber's notch.
    but the best part, it's been restored and scaled by our own @HolyRollah

    Thanks and I think I'm done with my NF acquisitions for quite some time. The sale was through another shaving forum and a member who contacted me to sell them all as a lot
