Calani Bay Rum.....very nice, very nice indeed.
 
A few bits and bobs:
  • Vie Long white horsehair brush.
  • Empty soap dish
  • Barrister & Mann shaving soap sample of Cheshire
  • Maggard Razors 24mm synthetic shaving brush knot
The brush is much narrower than I'd expected. It's softer than my other horse hair brush and performs pretty well. Early days yet.
The B&M soap has its usual great performance. Scent is very refreshing but I don't think I'd bother ordering a whole tub from the US. There are plenty of UK soaps that are just as good -NSS, OSP etc.
Thought I'd see what the Maggard's empty soap dish is like. Very sturdy and quality build. Perfect size, just a little wider than most artisan soap dishes. Might get some more if I need them.
The knot is to replace a badger knot I have. I've gone off badger knots these days, so thought I'd have a go at re-knotting.
