How do you like leather scents ?

Yep, the soap set I used today just is too strong for my asthma. Shoot me your address if you want to give this trifecta set a new home and I'll mail it to you.

Thanks, I wouldn't normally buy a Yaqi brush but I saw it and loved the look. I would say their Silvertip is too soft really, would have been better in two band.

I had one of my Micromatics poised and ready, but some things happened, and is still happening, so there will be no shave today.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
