This beauty just arrived in the mail today. An Alpha Shaving Brush. Rubberset 400 Tribute with a boar knot. I just soaked it in some Dawn Dishwashing liquid and hot water for a bit. Not even a hint of funk or bad smell. And it softened up really nicely during the soak. Can't wait to use if for my next shave.
This cased Gibbs No 13 showed up in the mail yesterday. I purchased it a few weeks ago from France and am looking forward to giving it a go this evening. Also not pictured, i was able to find a very nice condition 3rd quarter 1953 super speed for my father for Christmas. I think he’ll apprenticeship a razor from his birth year and quarter. 
Burning Barbershop finally arrived. I love the presentation. The crooked cap is whatever because it's going to get used anyway, but I love the rest.
AND??????
Aaaaand I love you too? I'm not sure what you're asking. I've been using a sample of it for like 2 months and talking about it in my journal.

I'll go look, honestly in a lot of journals I skipping the shaving stuff and just read what's happening in people's lives.Aaaaand I love you too? I'm not sure what you're asking. I've been using a sample of it for like 2 months and talking about it in my journal.
It's usually mentioned at the end of my shave paragraph.

@bentheduck What @NurseDave says he sees
Same hardware. I've been holding back from using this set because I don't even know. It's a pleasant scent. I changed up today's routine by not almost running out of time. I loaded it like I hate it, and I got a much better result. Nice and fluffy lather. The knot is still getting broken in, but at least the lather didn't die on me. Usual 3.5 pass shave and everything was better. DFS FTW.
A wild picture had appeared!
Just felt like a PEARS day.
It's time for a nap. I hope everybody is have a great hump day. Thanks for reading, Cadre.

Haven't checked his journal but profile post = If you're a fan of barbershop scents, I highly recommend this frag! Arson is bad!

So if it isn't actually talked about and you are on a wild goose chase, it's EXACTLY like a bingo call
