...I am hoping the resin handles have a little more weight to them than the wooden ones - they look great in any event...

That is my hope, I love the SOC brushes but they will be perfect with a heavy resin handle P.

Yaqi 24mm Moka Express Mew Brown Synthetic Brush.

Took just 9 days to arrive from China via Aliexpress for around £12 inc. p&p. I snapped it up while it was half price during their many offers (on Facebook).
Took it for a run today and have to say I'm very impressed. It's your standard modern synthetic brush quality; very soft but with a little backbone. Performance is equal top compared with my other synthetics. I can use this for both bowl and face lathering. Shed one hair after shampooing and today's shave but that's nothing to worry about.

The handle design is based on one of those Italian Moka Express coffee makers and it actually feels super comfortable in the hand. Fingers easily find the facets to give a better grip than even round handles which feel like your fingers are bent round the handle surface, if you see what I mean.

Now that's what I call a bargain.

Seems like a great way to try samples. I think I'll be ordering some cream samples before long

Vintage Floris Rose Geranium toilet water. Its fragrance is wonderful, with the earthy greenness of the geranium balancing the sweet rose. In fact, it smells so good that I am going to try it at pulse points - although my skin usually does not tolerate toilette waters or colognes - rather than just for adding fragrance to old shaving soaps.
