I was fortunate to receive this custom shave bowl and brush for my birthday. They were made by Mugseco, an Italian artisan. The brush is a 26mm High Mountain Silvertip. The finish and glazing is much nicer than captured in the pictures

Private eyes, they're watching you...I'm happy to report.. It's noon and I haven't purchased any shaving gear yet. <eg> evil grin
Damn-it...again...I just 'pulled-the-trigger' for some AS on eBay...and I promised myself I wouldn't be tempted.
I think Ebay and others platforms of the like...'pull you in'...now, I'm doomed (perhaps), from Acquisition Disorders, because at times..."Resistance is futile".
Other than that, I'm waiting on a Vintage 12½oz glass bottle ("seal still intact, missing front label, has been opened, but still smells lovely"...9in tall), of Pinuad French Bouquet AS (needs a very 'delicate' cleaning).

View attachment 1629136...after opening the box I received, I noticed that this bottle (9in Tall & 2½ in Wide), is very unique in that along the front (because of the 'profile' pic below...you have to look close), the glass blower inserted three (3), 'ribs' to facilitate ease of
handling and lessen chance of breakage. View attachment 1629201
Also, upon first use, I found this AS to have a masculine, fresh scent, woody, aromatic, soft floral (rose I believe), with hints of powder. Scent longivity for this vintage AS is around 2hrs. sup:
