What’s new to you?

Well gentlemen, I applaud all your mail calls but I won the shebang today. This was an unsolicited and mystery swap with the Major. I think I got the better end of this one honestly. Thank you @Majorrich! If it wasn’t so breezy out tonight I’d be writing this from the porch with a bowl fired up.

Take good care of that Meer! The bowl is fully floating. It smokes oh so cool! The GBD is NOS and was the queen of my collection, I figured you would really like it with the grain it has.
 
RazoRock 400 aluminum handle with black synth - meh, handle isn't comfortable and knot is more springy than I'd like
RazoRock Plague Doctor aftershave - meh, dries down to a powdery note. I don't like powdery scents
RazoRock Lupo aluminum - 👍 it's a keeper, very smooth
Do you think the aluminum handle fits it well? Or might it do better with an SS handle?
I'm not sure, but I've never been bothered by light razors. I'll eventually try a steel handle and see which I like better.
Update - You're right, @GearNoir, I do enjoy the Lupo much more with a steel handle. And I'm glad I got the 400 brush, I really like it now. I even enjoy the Plague Doctor enough now that I dribble a bit on my mask each morning before going to work.
 
At my Local Walgreens was One and Only One.
