Vintage C&E Mysore Sandalwood soap.
Unused despite the photo. I had cleaned off some light surface dust under the tap.
I've read favourable comments about this original C&E Mysore Sandalwood soap and even though I only recently acquired a jar of the C&E Sandalwood cream, I had to get this one to satisfy my curiosity.
It's safe to say my sandalwood notion is now well and truly satisfied.
* SOTD today with this and it's +1 to the list of people who find it fantastic

It looks like a buyout. The back label on my very old bottle of Pashana AS gives "Denman International Limited" as the proprietors. The denmanpro.com website, also shown on the label, goes to a 403 in some Far Eastern country.
The "new" Pashana label now shows the owners as being "Hive of Beauty" in London and Fitch Labs in Dublin. The website for both is hiveofbeauty.com, but that, oddly, doesn't list the aftershave.
As far as I can judge, there does seem to be a slight difference in the scent of the old and new, but that's quite possibly because my last bottle of the "old", now down to the dregs, has been kicking about in my cupboard for a decade or more.
Whatever its travels or travails, I'm pleased it's obtainable once again; if only to annoy its detractors, who seem to dislike it intensely. Let them wear Lilac Vegetal, I say.

Shaving Time arrival.
As I alluded to in my SoTD, I was waiting for something a little 'deeper' to arrive. It did with postie earlier.
British Leather by Stirling. I was expecting that the splash would be a bit more powerful. I can't really smell it above the Latigo I'm wearing, even with my nose stuck right on top of the bottle. I do get more of a smell from the soap which is pleasant, but not overpowering.
Does anyone know if the original English Leather was strong or whether it was subtle? Being more of a scent from across the pond I don't recall it when I was younger.
I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get the full effect.

Polished Claymore Evolution kindly traded with cash for my Hone 15s. I’m looking forward to trying this out over the next few days, the feather is loaded and ready to fly! I was down to one SE after giving up my Hawk v3a. I hope it’s as least as good as that! Only really have a Vector or Stando Rod I’d like to try still, (I’m aware the mongoose and general are near unobtainium!), ok and the proposed Tatara SE which I’ll likely buy based solely on the experiences I’ve had with the Masamune and Nodachi! I actually like the handle in the flesh better than I thought I would. It has some weight which I like, I really can’t wait to try it out!

Yeah that really is a sweet handle. The knots are supposed to be good too from what I hear. Enjoy it.

Arrived just a bit ago, another project. Hard part done and got the top unscrewed and apart easily with a proven method. The cool part is the pics showed no number and it turns out it's a #3 which is the one I'm missing.......

Since someone turned down helping me, I'll be attempting a refurbish on my own. Unchartered territory for me doing the wood and polishing the ferrule.....

Oh boo hoo. You can do it, it ain't rocket surgery. I'm pretty sure that one was painted black originally, but I wouldn't go back to black personally.
