I tried one out with some AOS lavender oil and cream, and finished with a hearty splash of Clubman.

Good stuff!

There are some wonderful vibrant colours within those scales, you've done an excellent job making those scales.

Thank you. I agree the wood is amazing. I sought help from a friend who is quite skilled for the cutting and drilling. I still am working on the final polishing. They just keep getting prettier.

I was felling a bit under the weather yesterday so I missed my traditional Sunday night shave.
To make up for it I decided to treat myself tonight.
I haven't done a Tabac Uber for a long time, and it was amazing, the W&B never dissapoints.
A fantastic 3 pass BBS

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas, some beautiful hardware on display already this week.

I really enjoy your posts and have been meaning to mention it for a long time.

I know nothing about Wordsworth, and little about literature in general, but your comments brought a big smile to my face

Damn life can be good sometimes.

Sounds like a great day, and a beautiful photo to go with it.
