Very nice looking brush!

I have a NF2202 and love the wooden handle.
 

I think the wooden handles are quite nice and a great shape, I found the ridge on this sits just behind my fingers giving me good control over the brush.

Simpson Duke 2 Best badger from BST. Looks like it hasn't been used as it doesn't appear to have bloomed much. Soon put that right! Here it is next to my commodore which has seen steady action over the past month.

Oooh, Arko cologne! That sounds pungent.

Yes, very classy stuff :lol:, but it works very good, even though the scent doesn´t makes you go "wow". Also bought a turkish Fonex AS cologne, with allantoin in it, that works even better. I would say close to OS Fresh Lime in action

I think thats about as much bloom as you will get on dule 2 mines looks the same and has quite a bit of use. Great wee brush
 
Just recieved a few iridium's, super thins and keramics. I also got the rest of the proraso products, soap and Aftershave, to complete the Italian theme. All courtesy of Paul. Very fast service.
The SS is loaded with a new Iridium ready for tomorrow. I wonder what soap to use. :lol:
 
Following on from my 'EU made blade' thread, I've bought a sample of BIC Chrome Platinums (Greece) and Croma Diamant Stainless (Germany). Arrived today, 10 of each to try. I don't hear much about these so I'll let you know how I get on.
 
Assembling my "back to work" kit, and have decided that DE razors were not designed for shaving while bobbing about the North Sea on supply boats (in winter at least).

Today I purchased a Boots own twin blade cartridge 'shaving system' for £2.20, and 10 twin blade carts complete with lubricating strip, for £3.20.

I was going to get a Gillette Sensor razor, but it was 3 times the price of the Boots version.
