Have both of these David, I love them both - great performers as well

Sicily, I've had before, Mark. The latest scent is very pleasing. Never know with Ryan's scents.

For me a fantastic purchase and one I’ve been waiting for many years . This rod stock was last made in the late 70’s early 80’s where the design was discontinued. It was resurrected in 2013 as a Shaving group buy for TSE, as a limited edition of 200. It’s design has not been
seen again.

My sincere thanks to @ Optometrist and @ Dipesh for their extremely generous spirit in parting with some of these brushes

Kadota smells ace! Opens with a fresh grassy note (no dirt or earthiness though), fresh greenery but the fig comes in to sweeten it a little at the end without it being off putting.

Tested the splash on my wrist and you get an alcohol scent for about five seconds which then vanishes to be replaced by the same scent as the soap. Really lovely, projects well and no oiliness here at all with the new formula.

I wonder if that onevis going to create a stable lather, considering the ingredient list doesn't mention stearic acid.
Perhaps the kaolin might help, though.

Looking forward to you thoughts on it.

I will give it a go tomorrow. It was in the window of one of these Hipster / Hippie type shops, but peaked an interest.

Couldn’t resist this too.

It's unlikely to be a loss in any case, as the ingredient list is pretty clean, so you could always use it as a show or hand soap. Plus, it'll likely smell pretty Christmas-y.

Does smell very nice, helps that I do like Cinnamon.
