Lather is great. That's another reason why the shave was so good. I have the Aromatic Fern, and like that scent much better. I'm just glad I got a sample of the 70th Ann. because I may have purchased it in the future. Now I wont.

THB Shaving Soap - Gunpowder Spice

THB AS Gunpowder Spice
V&R Spicebomb cologne
I didn't care much for the "Gunpowder Spice" scent from THB @ first... ordered it due to the description, but then didn't really like the scent. Kept using the soap because it performs GREAT and the scent is mild on that... then one day I gave the AS another try (still didn't care much for the scent), but put on some Spicebomb cologne afterwards and WOW - something about the "Gunpowder Spice" AS just makes the Spicebomb POP and gives it a whole new dimension! One of my favorite combos now!

Very cool Tom. Sorry, I'm a little late on here this week. Got some things going on...........
Yes bob once i took your suggestion and filled the one side with palmolive it has become my favourite mug. Everything i need. Soak the brush on one side, load on the other and then dip to add water. Not to mention you could use the empty deep side to hang your brush if you didnt have a stand.
Only con is that knots larger then 26mm wouldnt fit comfortably.

That's a beauty Andrew!
Right now its my second favourite to the edwin jagger. I dont know what it is the EJ just gives awesome shaves to me. I tried the vintage open comb and hated it. Same with a few other of the vintage gillettes. May settle on using only two or so until i give them back. The others will collect dust lol.
