Top notch array, Søren. Nice looking SOC brush. I don't have one of those and thinking about getting the ash model.

Thanks, Ron. The AS is a combination of witch hazel, a little glycerin, and a fragrance. This time I'm using up some Taxi EdT. It's not bad, but not one I'd repeat. In the past I've used 4711 cologne and I liked it much more.

Thanks for the info. One of these days I'm going to go the homemade route!

The Windrose handle really spruces up the ATT. If your shave has to take a dip in the bay that's the best way to do it! Great treatment.
