Re: 11 July - 18 July 2009

Cheers Paul... its a #2198 then.

The brush is great, my favourite and much better than the Kent BK2 that I threw in the bin.
I found that vulfix all come in plain generic red/clear boxes wth no other marks, so I didn't know what it was.

Absolutely love it, Paul.

I only really use natural stuff, so this was a bit of a find in a local chemist! No parabens or SLS, smells great and lathers like a charm! Combined with my Super-A and a Gillette Swede, gives me the ultimate in shaving luxury!

Very smooth when used with a straight, also. :D
