Thread: OMG - look what the cat draged in :-)

I have just received my Moss scuttle and the nice cup of tea by Sara Bonnyman
I must say, it left me breathless for the first minutes when I saw it!!!
The all thing was packaged very good, like it was a million dollar worth or something ;-)

The Star of the show, and with out any doubt the best item I have in my shaving set, is the Scuttle, it took me [FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif']exactly two seconds after I have seen it, to give it a try[/FONT]
I even make the lather inside it, (I have a big brush, but still the small scuttle is a perfect),I have no words about the feeling when I use it, it is a dream come true!!!

And I think that the pics Sara have on her site, just don't do [FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif']justice with it, it is so much better when you see it in real life, the Waterfall design is a must have! Look way better then any other thing I have in my shaving items (or maybe in my house)[/FONT]

The second package I have recived today, was a very nice one from http://www.qedusa.com/
It is the SAVILE ROW brush - 26mm one (it is a really BIG monster)
the service was really good, the package got by something like 3 days (and I live in Israel witch is way far away)
and also it includes some nice samples of QED creams
What can I say, the SilverTip, is the real thing!
Very gentle, make a MONSTER amount of lather with everything you throw on it
and + the moss scuttle, it is the best a man can get, like some one else said before ;-)

I am so happu today, really looking forward to shaving tomorrow
Oh, and sorry for making most of you here envy of me ;-)

I thought my monday was good...

I received my second Tony miller 3in strop, Red latigo, which pairs nicely withthe honey brown i already had and a bench hone with 1 and .5 micron paste.
and some trumpers almond shaving cream...

i was so excited i shaved twice!

Lucky you, I'm waiting for my new scuttle to arrive.

Actually I'm waiting for a few things to arrive but I'm off overseas on thursday for a few days, I really hope they don't all arrive while I'm away, then get returned to vendor as I can't come and collect them!

Envy? Nope. Sorry.

Personally I don't care about brushes, scuttles and mugs. I use a boar hair brush and I don't see myself upgrading to anything more expensive.

The only thing I care about is the quality of the soap and the quality of the razor and its edge.
The rest are minor details IMO.

But that is just me. Each to his own I guess.
Still, I can see how that would make your day great.

Bruno, brushes can make a BIG difference in your shave comfort. There are some soaps that I have zero issues with when I use a best badger brush, that will make my face burn if applied with a plastic bristled brush.

Fire,

I understand what Bruno is saying after all if the blade isn't sharp enough the brush really doesn't matter does it? Also my interest is in shaving not in brushing..

Sometimes I wonder if my main interest in straight shaving is the desire to keep my wife confused. She still rolls her eyes when she walks in on me shaving or honing. I'm convinced she married me because of my numerous quirky habits...and has spent the last 15 years trying to break me of them. Fortunately every time she seems to get one under control, another 3 or 4 break out.

Cheers,
Ed

I believe that is how the good Lord intended it.

Yuo Betcha, But what do I know.

I know what you mean. This AM my wife tried to get into the bathroom while I was stroping my razor as it is connected to the back of the door it stopped her entrance. She looked at me and said are you ever going to get over this. I politely answered NO and shut the door....
