    This arrived today from Bruno at Vintage Scent (169/180). It is the TSN 2018 LE handle with a boar knot. A beautiful brush. I will give it a run tomorrow. The feel of the knot seems to be a littler stiffer than the Cherry Wood SOC and the Taj SOC. I will do a side by side once I get a few shaves on this brush.

    $15/200 at a mom and pop shop a few blocks from my house in Phnom Penh. Don't think they sell many.[​IMG]

    Okay, NOW I've tapped out my finds in my new hunting grounds.

    1960, first quarter. Took a wrong turn on the way to Walmart and came across a tiny antique/bookshop. This and a Stanley brush was the only thing in the store. Not a big fan of Fatboys myself but when the owner asked $6, how could I pass it up? Adjuster wouldn't move past 4 so when I got home I gave it a quick boil in water + Dawn then sprayed some lube down the neck. Now it's as loose as a goose. A quick polish and here it is.

    Very nice! A dimes worth of your time increased the FB by ten fold. That one looks clean enough to trade well.

    My Lemony Orange set arrived. Will take it for a spin tomorrow. They threw in a sample of Glacial Wintergreen bath soap.

    Yes! Also sold in a custom tiki bottle. Wouldn't be surprised to learn something like that was done back in the early '60s by some little outfit on Long Island or something.

    Today I received a frozen box from Stirling Soap Co. with enough chill to freeze the North Atlantic and sink the Titanic! At the Maggard's meet I bought my first Glacial set - Obsidian and was hooked. So I could not resist the urge to cool down the rest of the summer and add a few more to the den!

    Terrific haul, Steve! Stirling products are top-notch. I have some of the glacial unscented balm and really think highly of it. Great stuff all around!
