So there we have it. I know when to stop!
Had a great morning in Hungerford. Lovely sunny day.
Sold my two bells. Not for £250. Got offered £300 - asked for another tenner towards petrol and sold at £310.
Off to The Gentleman's Shop. Thought I would set myself a real test. Had a really good look at the brushes. Held, felt, thought. Really took my time. I wanted to identify which brush represented for me a really genuine improvement on my Duke 3 and Kent BK8. Something that would excite me. In the end, the only one that did that was the Chubby 2 super. I was surprised that it was firmer than the" best" I thought it would be the other way round. But eventually I decided that the Chubby 2 was actually too big. I prefer the size of my Duke 3. The Chubby 1 super was out of stock. I wonder if that would have tempted me.
In the end I walked away. Even more content with what I have. Perhaps I will take a look at the Chubby ! sometime. But not yet.
So it was off for a coffee before returning home.
Hungerford still has some very fine antique shops. I thought about seeking out vintage shaving gear.
Another visit perhaps.
I am not a shopaholic. But I knew that.
