Vintage Simpson 12 Pure Badger - Horn handle
Nowadays I pretty rarely acquire new shaving paraphernalia, but sometimes a new item just pops up, usually a shaving brush, and I just have to go for it... so I thought I'd share this one.

Re: Who still regularly uses 3Ts / DRH / Pens soap/cream
I'm a big fan of DR Harris Marlborough and Windsor soaps, as well as Pen's Sartorial soap and BB cream - use them regularly, and never grow tired of them.

Re: martin de candre (rose)
Seems like you had a really bad experience, Clive. I'd say the burning is most likely due to the essential rose oils used for the fragrance, which judging by the potency of the scent, they must've gone a little overboard on. In terms of lathering performance, MdC is IMO among the best ever, but even...

Re: My take on European beers
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.
