One of my favourite things I've seen on the site for a while, fine acquistion Chris.
IMO, it's too beautiful to not be used.

You should have seen him, he was absolutely jumping up and down like a little kid in anticipation of getting this one, and I can see why.
Mind you, he's a 6'2†matelot, with a penchant for Cherry Red Dr Martens, so the sight of that is somewhat disconcerting...
Actually, seeing as Chris was the one to bring his better (by a very large margin) half into the discussion, I believe that she (Mrs Satanfriendly) enjoys brush lathering (absolutely not a euphemism, as far as I know
) rather than aerosol gloop, and Christmas is coming so maybe there's an opportunity for another commission there...Thank me later Chris, there's your stocking filler sorted.

How dare you call my wife a stocking filler, she is more than that to me. She can also cook, clean, carry the coal and polish my Doc Martens.
Didn't you get a free Cadman out of this? And some 88, and, and, and..........
C&S 88 soap waiting for next time

Oxblood my friend, oxblood. I also have a penchant for jeans with turn-ups and braces and get fed up with being asked 'are you a skinhead?' I don't jolly well think so.

Picked this up earlier in the week, it's almost half price in Debenhams. The only problem is it's unisex and SWMBO quite likes it...
I have quite a few orange/Neroli scents and I probably rate this as being the best in the bunch. Better than Hermes, Atelier etc.
A real overlooked bargain and well done

So? The postman has been,
Whats in the Box you may ask?
whats in the boxes then?
These puppies
My Photo skills just do not do these wonderful brushes justice.
I can only reiterate what Chris @Satanfriendly has said in his post about his Lead Wood masterpiece.
I had never used a Silver-tip knot before so decided to ask Steven @Steven_Jagger if he could help, i checked out some of his work on his Social Media pages and made up my mind to go for a Heavy Chubby style Blue acrylic handle (i do have hands like a mountain gorilla) As i was getting back into Str8 shaving i also wanted a brush to compliment a Koraat razor i really fancied with Cocobolo scales so also ordered a Cocobolo handled silver-tip. Both Knots are 26mm.
As Chris has said, the craftsmanship is top notch, they really are beautiful in the hand. I had a picture in my mind and tried to convey that to Steven as best i could, its as if he photographed my thoughts and made them real.
Like Chris i feel so privileged to own these "made for me" one offs, i cannot wait to get them wet.
A Massive Thanks to Steven @Steven_Jagger for making this happen, well worth the wait.
