I shaved with the Tibetian Amber this morning and had the same results as sodapopjones. Needs alot more of whatever makes the lather creamy and slippery. I like the scent but not crazy about the brown color, I would rather see it light tan or cream color. Something closer to white. JMHO Good luck wi...

Put it in a Mama Bear twist up travel stick container, $1.65, and it keeps the scent in the container. Fits quite well and handy to use. After I use it I store it upside down and the stick will dry. In the morning I just wipe the inside of the cap. Great soap and no mess or fuss.

I received my sample of Tibetian Amber today also. Will give it a try tomorrow and report back. Smells nice, I molded it into a clear glass Walmart sugar bowl with lid. It fit in just about perfectly. A generous size puck for a sample. Should last quite awhile.

The denser knot would be good but I don't want it too scrubby. The Omega 10275 is interesting also at 48mm loft and 21mm knot.

Semogue 1470

Thinking of getting this brush. 50mm loft, 22mm knot and a great price. http://vintagescent.com/shaving-brushes-c-5/semogue-1470-shaving-brush-p-71 I face lather and use soap so I think I want to get a short loft. The longer lofts seem to be messier to face lather. The only other boar brush I have i...

Just thought I would check to see if any member had a puck they wanted to get rid of. Yes I have bought MWF from Connaught and they are the cheapest overall on MWF and very good to deal with. Thanks, Jim

COMPLETED WTB: MWF and Arko Shave Stick COMPLETED

COMPLETED COMPLETED My MWF is getting low so if anybody has one they don't need I will take it off your hands, also a stick of Arko. I'm not particular if they are new or used.
I have a new stick of Palmolive if you would be interested in trading.
COMPLETED THANKS Squire, druphus, and SMF
