Oud 24 Hours by Ard Al Zaafaran

@Nishy Tried this? Budget version of TF Black Orchid. I don't have them side by side, but this is all I remember only in a toned down version (which suits me quite well really, TF's original is quite powerful).

Sounds interesting, thanks for the heads up @halvor will give it a try. May even add some black pepper EO to it.

Jurgen Hempel titanium handle purchased for my Timeless. I much prefer the balance when mounted on a lighter handle.

Received this last week Brian Brown blade only, scales are temporary for honing

Wow, delivered 2 days after auction. A cased ER 1914, ER 200T brush and a puck of Williams.
The 1914, shiny and magnificent will used soon.
May need advice on re-knotting the brush.
Heard good and bad things about the soap.

Managed to snag my biggest white whale. Not had chance to shave with it yet but can't wait to do so

Hows the brush? Can we have a closer look? @Northam Saint

I was in Boots today, guess what I bought? Had about £14 on the advantage card so seemed rude not to pick one up!

I think that's a great brush for the money. Shave cream is pretty good stuff too.

I just got this beautiful Feather AS-D2 customized by Delta Echo in black chrome and nickel.

One should not buy if not enough photos ! This is good advice and which I sometimes ignore. Brought what I thought was a Boxed Ever Ready Bathroom Set.
Upon opening the package the original box identified it as an ER Peerless. The I opened it up and found the Plastic Box in vgc,and sealed up.
Got the razor out of the box with instructions rolled in the head, and saw the Peerless handle. Was quite disappointed though the Box is good,
then saw the Razor Head was marked GEM made in England, 1912.
Has anyone an idea where this razor fits into the ER/ Gem History. I have a Gem Junior 1912, made in USA , but had not heard of this one.

Looking forward to the 'experts' opinion.

Picked up a Tuxedo knot from APShave @ Etsy. Probably to go in the Rubberset 400 replica. The idea was really to use it for a travel brush, though. Hmm...
