Finally some warmth & sun in Northern New England. It was a cold snowy winter. Having feelings for the new Feather razor. Can't justify that one right now.

Bryan, I think you will be well served by the 4125/2 two band bulb which is really more of a hybrid. I primarily gravitate toward English fan lofts but this particular Thater has good backbone and soft tips.

Craig, Truefitt & Hill....Please! I just received a pot of their rose and lavender and you would be hard pressed to find better creams. I love that they are lightly colored and their consistency is still spot on. I know you had concerns with the recent Trumpers Sandalwood but T&H is just so ...

Brian, I am hearing reports the quality of the bristle matches the Rooney Heritage XL's and Simpson 2 bands in look feel and use. The Prince is a great smaller brush and the price of these offerings can't be beat. Intriguing and looks great.

I dunno. I have both this new sandalwood cream and some left in the older container and they seem the same to me. Pretty great stuff all around.

Yes they are appealing. I find the Coconut nicely concentrated, smells great (but is powerful as Chris noted). Really wakes you up. The Grapefruit pot just looks like a great summer cream.

Kind of embarrassed to keep this thread going but I received and shaved with the Mergress (Progress short handle recalibration) from that gent in Chicago a few times and it just adds to the joy.

I have one of those Plissons from the late 70's. Nice brush indeed. I prefer the original ( gel) XL series a few years back from Rooney. Apparently good hair still exists.
