@Wayne Pritchard @Blackmass - Wayne - I thought initially that you were after his SV soap but no - the brush. Audacious mate. Good effort. Don't think he's going to go for it though. Dream - and indeed fantasy - PIF. As I say - good effort - if you don't ask you don't get. Ha ha. I
When the love is strong, one must persevere.
@Blackmass @Wayne Pritchard - I suspect this will be unrequited love in your case. As Shakespeare was so fond of mentioning. Can you not get them anymore? The knots looked wonderful to my eye but the handles were of wood - nothing wrong with wood - steady - I'd never heard of. Hard wood - steady again - I can't find the bookmark to who used to sell them in the UK. They always seemed to be sold out. I'm not in the market though - I did that a few years ago when I bought my Chubby 2 - I got a real good one. Worth every penny - I recommend a prestige brush purchase to you. Just get it right. Ultimately my most expensive brush is the Vie Long Anniversary Two band. It was a gift from my partner. A Limited Edition - officially sold through Gifts and Care - now no longer available. To be honest - I have Vie Long Horse brushes and Semogue boars costing under 20 quid that are just as good - performance-wise - but not as luxurious - there is an added value lacking in the cheaper brushes. Check out the Epsilon brushes from the lovely Juan - at Gifts and Care - if you are in the market for something top end. I

I say give it a try! Good luck.I never did like the feather in anything but it's been a while now since I last used one so I may put one in my Hone 15 tomorrow and see how I get on with it. Wish me luck!
What you said about the Lea Classic soap - they do three versions - the conventional tube, a soft soap in a tin and a hard puck. There is some slight variation in the formulations - between tallow and vegetarian - but I can't remember the exact differences at the moment. They perform brilliantly for me. A hefty kick of menthol. Dirt cheap if you buy them in Spain. The aftershave is great too. Highly recommended. I
Have managed 9, but tend now to limit it to 6. Too many different types of razor on the go !How many uses do you get from one of these Gem blades?
