A gift from my sweet wife
I have been shaving exclusively with straights since Christmas time and travel quite a bit for business. I have been wrapping my razor in a washcloth and putting it in my dopp kit. Since I will be on the road this week, we are celebrating Valentines Day today. She just had me open my gifts and I'm thrilled. I will be traveling in style this weekView attachment 8075

Wow, what a great gift!!!

A new Windrose handle Andrew is going to polish it for me so it'll look even nicer. It;s going on my new Rockwell 6C

Beautiful dish. I'm seriously considering a wood handle on my next brush.

Thanks Wayne, A nice hard wood handle, properly waxed is a great buy and looks the biz!

These handles are nice but I'll be buying a blank and adding my own knot. From a UK seller and free postage

Thanks. I love all things wood and a good rub with a quality buffing wax makes the grain really pop

Good things come in big (& small) diameter tins. I’m looking forward to using the Grandstaff Soap after reading a tonne of great reviews. In the end I went for Amyris & also received two very large samples of Spicy Vetiver & Pantera Rosa too.

Anyone looking for a good hair wax, I can highly recommend Bumble & bumble Sumotech.

How nice does that look. I'd happily give the extra for my artisan soap to arrive in one of these, instead of the usual plastic container. If Mitchell's can provide a nice ceramic dish then why can't others?

Entirely agree @Wayne Fully polished stainless steel for a bargain price including postage.
