I have it in a bowl with a little water for now.
Any other way to revive it?

Thanks,

No, I think that's all. Definitely don't heat it beyond the temperature of hot tap water.

My experience is a few years old, but I'm quite sure it's still valid: the Kent version and the Mitchell's version are exactly the same soap in every way; only the package is different.

Pior ?

Sold! Thanks for reading.

Just a note for those who may continue to be interested: I forgot to say that I don't have Paypal - it will be necessary for us to agree on some other payment method.

Here are my amateurish phone-camera pictures of the brush; I hope I've formatted them correctly for the site. Please note that in the second pic I misused the camera's flash in order to get the lettering on the back of the brush to show at all - that's why the colour is off. 20151118_115747a.jpg 201...

Here's my response to a couple of good questions about the brush, so I don't end up answering them more than once. The handle has light scuffing/scratching on the flat part of the base from being set down, and the lettering is noticeably worn. Otherwise, the handle looks good to me; it's probably so...

Thanks for the responses! There are already a few people with a serious interest in this; I'll give each a chance in turn, to confirm they want it or to change their minds after seeing pictures (or coming to their senses ). I've replied to one PM so far... we'll see where that leads.

Thank you... It's nice to be back, even if the first thing I have to do is sell a favourite brush.

Hello all - I haven't seen you in a while.

I won't be able to post pictures until some time tomorrow, but as the title says, I have for sale a Rooney Finest 1/2 in faux horn. It's been used but is in great condition. $250 shipped.

Thanks

Putting two disparate threads together, it seems sad to me that big-name respected companies that have been in this business longer than I've been alive are selling products inferior to what a first-time amateur can mix up in his kitchen on the week-end.

You might want to try a combination ... use the electric to get the heavy stuff off and then finish with any of the razors and blades recommended (except Feathers which I think are too sharp for someone not experienced in wet shaving ... and even for a lot of people who are from what I read here) u...

I never considered that the ridges found in many shave scuttles could damage a brushes tips over time. This has me a bit concerned now. I don't think bumps or ridges are a problem; the only complaint I've heard (and that one clearly legitimate) was from a guy whose bowl had a sharp edge in its inte...

If a person's actual aim (for whatever reason) is to use up the soap he has, then he should do it. ( Though in some cases I think it would be faster to simply make a habit of cutting each new soap in half and throwing away one of the pieces, achieving the same effect ). ..... A better answer would ...

A very hearty thanks to all who took the time to reply. The response was certainly more than I expected. Fortunately, it appears my problem is solved, which means I don't have to forgo the glorious scent of ToBS Pink Grapefruit, which was the cream that resulted in the welts that prompted me to pos...

And now that thought is planted in my head. You think that's bad. I just read this thread now, and the mixed metaphors have forced me to consider 7-11's new frozen burrito pudding. I think next time someone mentions disposable razors to me, I'll just say "Frozen burrito pudding from 7-11!"...

like returning to your lover after flirting with another woman...your reunion produces really special sparks as she reminds you of everything only she can offer you. Not going to the toss the DE 89 but it definitely is on the second team! If the women in your life are sufficiently numerous that the...

Thanks Fellows. For the lathering time, I do 150 "swirls" on the soap puck to load the brush. I picked this number from wathcing a Youtube video about how to build lather...I counted what the fellow on the video did and have been using it as a standard since then. Oh my. I'm not sure how ...
