SMF

It is indeed a long shot, but I'll see if I can find someone here in PT willing to sell theirs. Wetshaving has really been falling out of favor (I guess everywhere in general), so maybe someone here is not using theirs anymore.

I somehow missed this. Are nrs 3 and 7 sold? And do you have the original boxes?

Thank you for the very kind words, gents.

I do plan on using the brush at some point, mostly because I'm quite curious about this Pure badger hair. Don't recall seeing a Pure Badger knot that looks quite like it, and I anticipate it will be an interesting shaving experience.

In terms of lathering performance, MdC is IMO among the best ever, but even ...

Congrats, Mike!

If I may suggest, try a few Belgian beers like Chimay or Duvel... Very different from the more common beers, denser and more complex, but extremely pleasant, IMO.

Welcome to SMF, David!

Very sad news indeed. May he RIP.

Davidoff Winston Churchill Commander - one of the very last NCs I've got in my humi, and also one of the best I remember smoking:

That is a huge synthetic brush! How does it perform in comparison to the regular Plisson, Gary?

Welcome aboard, Daniel!

Had almost forgotten about this thread!

Yesterday's smoke was a bloody awful Montecristo Double Edmundo - one of the worst Cubans I remember smoking. Little flavour, and the one it had was not good. Despite this, it still managed to be somewhat harsh... Only managed to smoke half of it:
