Irish Fern just in today, thanks to @Looney12345 .
As expected it's a top performing soap. It has to my nose a quite complex scent that I found to be very pleasing.
Decent three pass shave with two elements not up to par.
1) I used a Treet Carbon blade.
I keep trying to give these blades the benefit of the doubt, but for me they're not very effective.
2) my old faithful Mason Pearson pure badger brush.
It's lost most of it's backbone. I've used it almost exclusively for seven years, so I suppose it's served me well.
I think I'll be in the market for a new badger come payday, and going by the gossip on here, it'll have to be a Maseto. (I've been avoiding this temptation for weeks)!
Finished off with Dunhill Fresh EDT.
This scent won't be everyone's cuppa but I like the fresh zesty aroma.

Hi Wayne. The handle was turned by U.S brushmaker Vladimir Ferdman. He is on Etsy and a good bloke, easy to work with, a little quirky but he's alright. It came with a TGN knot originally. Great softness and backbone but they are just put together so sloppily they don't look good. I thought the handle deserved a good knot so I took it out and put in a Maseto knot. It was simple enough to do, no skill needed mate. I think it looks a lot nicer now too. Thanks.I am loving that keyhole brush @wayne mattison with the Maseto Knot.
Did you do that yourself?
