you just saved me 92 eurosThe goodies from Plisson in France are here:
- The brush brings mixed feelings. Size 12 in the Plisson scale, I suppose that if I spend a week searching on the net for 6 hrs/day I may find how the frog scale relates to the more-or-less common standards the rest of the civilised world has. Without doubt these people are terrific engineers whether we talk about trains, cars, I.C. engines, you name it. But it's stuff like that (i.e. "shave brush size 12") which confirms the virtue of being odd as being a specialty.
- The Joris has a specially mild, sea-breeze powdery scent.
- The Plisson soap (in the beautiful porcelain bowl) is like putting your nose in a container full of mild citrus/lemon.
- The Plisson balm is again very mild in scent and similar to the soap by Joris.
- I expected this "Ferrari red" brush to be just like my RazoRock Plissoft Barber's (24mm knot). No. It's much less dense and offers considerably weaker backbone. Should be a wonderful brush for its own merits but for a much smaller knot dia. (should be 22mm or 23mm at most) and at €92 retail I'm sorry, they can keep their French elegance to themselves. I got it for 20% off on their Father's Day offer but still...
- The whole package and presentation is exquisite, but it's the balm, the two soaps with the porcelain soap and also the Ferrari red brush that stay. The boxes are just boxes, luxury or not.
- The "Toulouse Olympics 2088" or whatnot futuristic brush stand is chromed brass.
- Both soaps fit well into the truly wonderful porcelain bowl.
The attention to detail in the porcelain bowl is impressive.That's some haul.
Love the look of the porcelain bowl and sounds like the soap smells pretty good as well.

Very true. I have the original "classic" handle but I don't like it (knurling is too smooth). My 'fake' handle is much better I think.That may be an ARC head - can't see clearly - but that sure ain't an ARC handle! Sorry to bear bad news. It'll still shave superbly, of course. I regard it as the mildest of the Webers.
I agree. That 'Fake' handle looks so so much better. Give me real sharp, deep knurling anytime. Nice kit there.Very true. I have the original "classic" handle but I don't like it (knurling is too smooth). My 'fake' handle is much better I think.
