What are you waiting on to arrive?

... after getting massively into this very short-lived band recently, buying in their one and only studio CD (to find I already had it, up in the loft from 20 years ago) and the live CD from their one and only gig, by a bizarre turn of synchronicity just last week, they reissued their studio album on red vinyl.

1500 worldwide.

I bagged one

Leo does make an exceeedingly good brush.

I'm waiting on an ATT S1/kronos and an M2 baseplate, some NSS ice & slice plus some myrsol and proraso AS

I always forget about aliexpress!!!
Thanks

Not sure which of the two you were more interested in, but I can report that I just unboxed the brush from Virginia Sheng. It is listed as a 55 loft, but we are talking massive glue knot (luckily; I was afraid it would be floppy), and the effective (or free, in Paladin terms) loft is a cm less. Tips are soft, and with that free loft it obviously as a ton of backbone. Haven't lathered it yet.

Beautiful patterns in that material!

It's resinated/ised Louisiana swamp bottom - every blank is different. I look forward to sniffing it!

Nice! A Leo Frillot by any chance?

Ahum! Dass da man!

I've seen a fair bit of his work on the book of Face, and I must say, he has some very interesting handles. Some very nice (like the one you've chosen) and some very abstract choices (less to my taste). The fact it contains organic material is an interesting one, it adds a wonderful dimension to the handle.

@Gecko does wonderful handles containing organic materials, too. He has made many of my favourite brushes, including one I used this morning. Zebrano with a hand-tied Simpson knot. Superb!

I've just seen a few from a quick search, very nice indeed! The olivewood handle he made for you is a fantastic piece. Simple, yet very effective, showing off the grain nicely.

 

[Bechet]

That's what he does best! Loves his woods, does Gecko! He's a very talented wood turner.

I have some Tom Ford for Men coming. I'll convert it to aftershave, using my regular recipe, since my skin does not tolerate an EdT.

And after reading about Chypre, I was stimulated to try a few of the less expensive ones. So I now have Puig Agua Brava, Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel, and Coty Stetson aftershaves on the way.

All excellent choices, especially the Grey Flannel sir...timeless!

 

[discodaz]

agua brava is one of my all time faves-superb stuff, like a refined quorum =)

Not shaving-related but the petrolheads out there might appreciate this...

Nice, not quite a car forum, but whilst we are on the subject you can probably tell my car from my username.
