I haven't actually bought ANY soap since before he started selling, CBL makes some of the best stuff out there. Here is one of his and another brush by Sorrentino.

I'm trying to stretch out my posting for the artisan / hobbyist because I don't really have a lot from them yet. I do have a few thing I will be posting over the next couple of days from some of these wonderful people and their companies !!

Don't feel bad. I only have a few soaps and some brushes. I have sent a few razors out, but haven't gotten them back yet to be able to show them off.

So, not a shaving item, but one of my favorite acquisitions from a TSC hobbyist. My fire poker from the forge of @ShawnF. I just asked him to make it "spidery" and he delivered. I love it!

It’s great stuff. It’s always a while in between MW shaves for me, but every time it surprises me, just how good the lather is. It’s like I forget or something. Definitely in my top 5 for lather quality. I always wonder why I don’t use it more often!

Good morning all! Today was CBL Soaps day @CBLindsay .. Went with ORION - "Hammam Spa" for today's shave. A wonderful soap, lather and scent. Finished with the matching after shave tonic and a spray of Himalaya which IMO is a great companion scent. Today showed me that I need to use this soap more often..

Hope you have a great day.

Texas on Fire is a powerful scent. It and Electric Sheep are among the few Stirling Soaps I have used to completion...strange I know, but the scents are SO different I just had to keep going and going and going.
