Thanks for the heads up. What's your shaving kit?
My shaves this week will be carried out courtesy of 3 different soaps/creams to begin with: Asylum Levante soap from Bullgoose, Truefitt & Hill 1805 cream, and Joris soap. There's a new blade in the razor and the first brush is the Thater 4376/5 badger.

*sample, and it's utterly magnificent. I knew the lather would be good. The scent is also sublime. I'll be picking up a tub.

This morning and for the next several days the new (old) Simpson shaving cream will be doing the honors. I've never used it before, and this one was a generous gift a few weeks ago - Thanks Chris ! It's good stuff. Pleasantly scented, and the lather is as good as any. No problems. Too bad it's been off the market quite a while now. It's now a permanent member of my rotation. Cheers!

Sounds delightful, Gary! Congrats on that find!
