Yep it is great, not sure I could stick to one soap, but if it was the only one I had I would not be complaining.

Yeah, me neither.. Lol

It was a very ZeroFeud kinda mail-call today with one of their brass Tri spinners arriving as well as a "Sriracha" laynard/paracord bead that will go onto a TUKK knife when it gets here in January...

I got two Travel size samples directly from Fitjar - they're generously offering a sample for the price of postage only, I checked and the offer is still on, and I also received a free sample of their After shave gel.

The link for the offer is on the homepage or here: http://eepurl.com/cbWoLX

Main acquisition for 2016...my new Mervyn Cadman custom brush: 'The Greybeard' (OK, it's just a small conceit naming it that, but what the hell)

I always wanted a chunky long-handled brush, so I've been in discussions with Mervyn over the last few months and sent him an initial sketch. Here's what the finished brush looks like...

Yup...it's definitely a bit of a monster, but feels absolutely superb and evokes that 'olde barbershop' style. The handle itself is 5" long and 1.5" wide. The knot is a 26mm 'TGN Finest'...personally I consider these the provide the best combination of softness with backbone of any knot.



And the certificate...



It's one of those things that may divide opinion, but I love it!
Thanks for a great job, Mervyn!
(Now all I need to do is get the bathroom door widened so I can get it in there)

I'm sure you'll enjoy using that,
Beautiful.

Thank you...of course it is totally extreme, but that's what I wanted...something beyond the norm

Even though I don't think one can really have too many old brass Zippo lighters the third one that arrived this week completes my 'collection'
