Joel:
All of Em's products are first rate. I really enjoy her hydrosol plus sprays in Sandalwood and Neroli. And, yes, the woodstock is very nice, a complex patchouli. It's particularly nice in the A/S splash/spray.

Joel, There are STILL hippies in Berkeley?? And they're still wearing Patchouli oil?? Are you sure? How can that be? I lived all that in the late 1960s, it can't possibly still be going on, not even in California! It must be something else, surely?......Em's Place, yes, I kept meaning to post about those Simpson brushes. I think it's nice that she's carrying them. No big bargains, perhaps, but still, I'm glad to see it. BTW, I have an ebony handle on my Plisson, and so far, it seems to be fine. I think that if it's a quality brush, an wood handle is OK. Afterall, I'm sure the brushmakers know full well what we do with them, and it would be pretty lame ( and bad for business ) if they sold expensive brushes with handles that they knew wouldn't last. At least, that's what I tell myself. Regards, Gordon

Guys,
Just a suggest if you want to discuss the EO and pachoulli (I know that isn't spelled right
) Maybe we could continue in the fragerences section with colonges aftershaves etc.

Hi Joel, nice to hear you have visited. I wanted to share a quick word about the wood handle brushes you mention.
If we think about the days before synthetics, they made handles out of wood, horn, bone and so forth... As you may have noticed I have a "thing" about wood. Maybe living in Oregon tells the story about that
But really, wood is long lasting and works good as a brush handle. It will however weather over time and takes a bit more care than synthetic handles (aka - be sure to shake out excess water), yet is just as functional and has its own personality. For wood and metal I do suggest the use of a stand - I know, a controversial subject so won't go there other than this comment.
As always, happy shaving gents!
