Outstanding! I can't wait for your thoughts on this one. I love RR soaps/aftershaves. It's wonderful that you feel that way about your wife.
I would have bid against you on that one if I wasn't avoiding eBay. Didn't even see it because of NB16. Nice find!
Thanks, I guess I got lucky on that one. I stumbled across it in the last hour. I wasnt even planning on bidding, it was almost a reflex reaction.
How could you pass that up? That's why I'm avoiding eBay. I would have tried to snipe that one. Have fun!
Made in Taiwan, yes. Recent, no. Well, as old as you are, 1985 might seem recent I was 5 years old when that mug was made.
Sealed the deal, in the mail shortly. A Vulfix 660 medium super. I have enjoyed face lathering with boars. Soon to see what the badger is about!
From the reviews I've read, it uses the same hair as Simpson's Best, so the hair will be top notch. It won't be as densely packed as a Simpson's brush, so you might find it a bit floppy, compared to a boar brush (or even other badger brushes). It has a good reputation though, you ought to be happy with it. Looking forward to your thoughts. My first two badger brushes were floppy, and so I thought I hated badger brushes and stuck with boar. I've learned better over the years, and now enjoy both badger and boar.
