Well, for those of you that have used SN, there's probably little need to add much more. Suffice to say, if there were a thread for desert island shaving kit, the combo of razor, brush and croap referred to above would be worthy, for me (a supply of fresh water would be useful too).

So...yeah. Soaps move over, there's a new kid in town. 5 stars for Star Noir. Scent, performance and post-shave...nearly perfection in an imperfect world.

Be well everyone.

Stephen.
 

I keep seeing stars around these here parts!...Will need to get one , can't resist any longer.
 
Thank you. My wife received 2 of these mugs as a gift. I believe they are meant for serving the drink, Moscow Mule. I had to take one for SOTD photos.
The drink if you don't know already..consists of Vodka,ginger beer & lime juice.. in my part of the world we call it "lunatic's broth..you can run a two stroke engine on it!..imagine drinking a dozen of them, my head would be like a bag of broken biscuits!
