Two new brushes today. Semogue LE 2010 and cough...cough custom boar.

LE 2010, density seems pretty good and the tips seem very soft when dry. Number 80, I was born in 1980.

Custom boar, the same hair as in an 830 I believe but with a shorter loft. Should make a great brush for face lathering once broken in.

From Paul at Connaught:
Alt Innsbruck EdC,, fantastic!
50x 365 Stainless blades ( a new one in so thought I'd have a go)

Samples of:
Irisch Moos AS
Alt Innsbruck AS emulsion
DR Harris Bay Rum AS
Connaught Peppermint shave cream
Connaught Sandalwood Shave cream
Not tried any of the above before

Felt like an early Christmas pressie
regards, beejay

50x 365 Stainless blades ( a new one in so thought I'd have a go)

Indian budget brand made by Gillette (in India) - not unpleasant, and not entirely unlike the Indian WS blades.

From our man in South Africa (thanks to Willy d S):

Minora 3-piece, all-metal (aluminium handle), open comb sort of 'boxed' (I was hoping for the full enchilada but the tray's in good nick & there was nothing other than what you see in the pics I saw to base the trade on - I'm fine with it).

• • Also: x5 packs of 5 Lion Super-stainless steel, & 5 packs of 5 Gillette Minora Platinums.[/list:u][/list:u]
