I Can See Better Than Bigfoot.
Thanks, Tom. I snagged this re-plate from Scott on the BST, along with some other goodies. And he sent me some marvelous samples as well. I’m a sucker for nickel to begin with.

Day two of this identical setup. I am loving the Land Ho! aftershave, and my bride said ‘you smell good’ for the first time in quite a while. Guess I’ll be buying some products from CC soon!

One could use this set up everyday for the rest of their lives and be content. Such a simple set up, but each divine every time.
Wow Thomas, what does that vintage Avon smell like? Does it remind of any recent splashes?
Today and yesterday I used the (considering price to wonderfulness ratio) very best razor that Gillette ever made IMHO: The Rocket Flare Tip. I love that thing!

Awesome. I too have that exact brush in that wonderful faux sapphire blue. Have to say that I love this brush beyond belief - lathers like crazy and soooo soft with those synthetic bristles. How do you find it?
Let's just say that it has changed how I view brushes in general and synthetics in particular. Soon after using the Duke I bought a Chubby 3 in synthetic, but I don't like it as well. The handle does not fit me. I adore my Duke!
