I have ne...

Feather is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. Perhaps this is in commemoration of that event?

I have a few new lathering products that have found a home in my drawer. The Portland General Store soap has really impressed in both scent and latherability. Great Shave.

Firm to the point of 'rubbery' in my experience, which is silvertip, finest, and pure. Pure being the loosest but with thick hairs that keep it firm. I think the finest had the best of both worlds. Firm hairs with room for flow through. The silvertip was not to my liking, perhaps if the loft had bee...

I have one of the recent Simpson Manchurian knotted brushes. The Emperor 3 in fact. If you have ever experienced the old Simpson two-band Best badger, it is closely comparable. I love mine. If you are able to get one, enjoy it.

Bigger IMO is definately more enjoyable.
I have in regular use a Kent BK12 and a Simpson CH3, which are my favourite brushes.

I will say that as much as I like amd enjoy my Simpson E3 long loft and my Coates Kennet they are not as . . . Fulfilling as the other two.

I had a great view of it on my morning commute.

What are the ingredients?

Or, is this a largely witch hazel based AS or a largely alcohol based one?

Compare Ogallala to something like Dominica or St. Lucia? (Not fragrance for this question, but make up)

This from a big bay rum fan, so I am very interested.
