No box I'm afraid but I will include a once-used tub of Tcheon Fung Sing Ciotola Verde Shaving Soap and various samples including Mike's Natural Soaps, Simpsons shaving creams, and Creed fragrance samples
I'm a big fan of this. The fragrance is somewhat muted compared to the edt, and it is compromised by a clay / tallow note.
Performance wise however I find it excellent and it is a Valobra soap. I also don't regard it as a particularly expensive soap, although the aluminium does add a...
Reduced to £18 and now includes Oxford and Cambridge soap sample; Martin De Candre soap sample; and Creed fragrance samples (Virgin Island Water, Silver Mountain Water, Royal Mayfair); and an almost unused tube of Vifrex post shave gel
So my brief flirtation with Simpsons brushes is over. The handle quality is superb and I do love the handle size on this one, but again the knot lacks adequate backbone for my liking.
It's been used less than 5 times and cost £90 new.

This has been palm lathered twice and used once, but already I know it's not for me - not enough backbone and the handle is a tad small for my liking.
Nevertheless it's a highly rated brush, regarded as a good all-rounder, and it's approx £85 brand new.

All year round. Cultish yes (just look at Basenotes), but to be fair I found it quite different from most department store offerings. Fine Platinum aftershave is a dead ringer, and one of the Boellis scents is similar.
D R Harris is probably the one that smells most like actual sandalwood.
TOBS is citrussy, soapy, powdery, woody - warm and cosy but still good for all seasons.
Trumper's is similar to Chanel Egoiste, quite heavy on the rose.
I enjoyed all three.
Paste for me.
Lavender De luxe is lovely, as is Dark Limes, although I can imagine the latter being an acquired taste. Mint ice menthol is also really nice.
