I change just about everything - scuttle, brush, soap or cream, razor, blade, aftershave - except for the preshave oil.

The shape of that first brush is unique. It looks kind of triangular? No, it's not really trianglar. That's the ivory brush. The front is slightly more "angled," while the back side (with dark lines) is more rounded. And the left and right sides are slightly asymmetrical in size, really g...

Five more Somerset Simpson brushes have arrived from Peter: a genuine ivory, an Astor in Best, a Chubby 3 in Super, a butterscotch W2 in Best, and a 46 in Best. Into the rotation they go. http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i433/churchilllafemme/IMG_3744.jpg http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i433/...

I don't understand the $65 USPS quote. You can mail a small flat rate Priority Mail parcel (not insured, however) to the UK for $16.95. I've had delays in mailing to and from the UK, but never a loss.

WTB: Dirty Bird Scuttle - Got One

I'd like to buy one of these shaving scuttles, the kind with a water reservoir underneath the inner bowl. Large/small, model, color, and age don't matter, but excellent or better condition required. I'm only interested in these two brands; I already have a Moss and a Becker. Thanks.
