A bottle of Quorum EdT and a bottle to treat a couple of vintage, wooden shaving brushes.
Tried the Quorum this morning and got the comment "what's that medical smell?" from someone...
Sadly I agree - it's a terrible scent and it's going back.

Also got this, to me, pretty neat vintage SOLID SET brush that looks like its in pretty good condition.
Came with the original bakelite tube for it.

I like the Markus Herber brush - very nice. What knot does it have in it?

Two things to note there: first, the age of the commenter was obviously under 40; second, so must you be, as the comment bothered you
Shame you didn't give yourself five or six spritzes, as you could have cleared the building before even opening the door!
You're not a Quorum man, then. I'd also avoid the following: Pino Silvestre, Agua Brava, Ted Lapidus, Rapport, Kouros ... in fact, all my scents. Quorum! At least once a week, their 'Silver' gets a little spritz every now and again, too.

Wearing it today. Love it!
For me it's a scent that I want to smell like to others rather then for my own benefit.

I made a late night impulse buy. I already have one and don't need one but it is in nice shape and will clean up well. I guess I have more trading stock[emoji1]
The great pretender that is the LS 30mm silvertip knot has arrived. Here it is among the competition:
First impressions are positive - it's a substantial piece, build quality is pretty good and the silvertip is soft with some degree of backbone (more than the Omega, but less than both of the Paladins). The silvertip is also reasonably densely packed - more than the Paladins but, understandably, nowhere near as dense as the Simpson Chubby 2.
One minor negative observation - the knot isn't absolutely geometrically perfect like the Paladins or the Simpson; it's not a show-stopper as it is so slight, but it does warrant a mention.
But, the proof of the pudding and all that, as they say - it will be interesting to see how it actually performs among such hallowed company.

That looks like a pretty dense knot on the LS. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts once it's bloomed and broken in.
