A couple of backup sets of what is currently my favourite scent.
Could never have too much of this one.

I like the sound of this one. Do you usually get stung for tax when buying from T&S?

After a long wait, finally arrived, a Tulip 2 + Tulip 3 Manchurian Badger. The first Tulip 2 Manchurian Badger is born.

I honestly didn't know what to order, so just bought the selection packs. Gaba Oolong and Vanilla Chai are very good...

I am not familiar with Tea House Emporium. I used to use Canton before they went trade only and more recently have used Jing and Nothing But Tea. Might order from these guys when I need to replenish my stocks - they have proper bricks of Pu-Erh and some really nice greens as well.

Currently doing my afternoon work-from-home session with a flask of hot water and a strainer full of Tie Guan Yin.

If they sent you a sample of this one then I recommend cracking it open post haste: https://teahouseemporium.co.uk/product/loose-leaf-tea-tea-bags/mi-lan-xiang-oolong/ - It's amazing.

Thanks for bringing these guys to my attention!

Agreed. When you consider the length of stubble usually shaved it certainly isn't laid down on the skin and doesn't need lifting, not that a brush would lift it. Even if you are shaving off a full beard you are only shaving the 0.3mm or less next to the skin.

Believe it or not, no one is thinking of that.

For some reason though feels different to shave 7 days of growth than 2-3.

With thanks to Chris @Shaverrific666 I am the proud owner of this lovely Simpsons M7 Synthetic. I'm not a 22mm lover, nor a Simpsons Synth knot lover but it feels quite nice so far. I will give it a fair crack before deciding whether or not to re knot it with something from AP.

I haven't tried YSL Rive Gauche and can't really comment upon Classic Two's similarity. I only know what Ryan has written in his T+S website. Likewise, other soaps.

Ok tnx. Will have to try myself then.

I actually think these are quite rare Beasts. I'm not certain but I think they were limited editions.
