What’s new to you?

Who would have guessed I'd find a second Crabtree and Evelyn Mysore Sandal Wood Shaving Soap, locally!

Found this soap refill locally via Facebook Marketplace. My antiquing buddy helped me acquire this one after I picked him up from preschool. He's always ready to go for a ride with dad, especially if dad buys him a cookie while we are out!

Here it is next to the soap bowl I scored last week.

I look forward to your thoughts about Orion. I'm on the fence because of the bundle requirement.
Initial impression after first use..... it has no equal. Slickness/Residual slickness was off the charts, and best post shave feel I've ever felt. Bar None! The oil and Tonic just added to the experience and my face has NEVER felt this good.
 
Also got an order from Oz Shaving yesterday. Got my fix for Fullmoon for the year! Threw in the spare bottle of Tornadic to get the free shipping. And the other unlabeled bottle was a surprise. In one of my initial emails to Ian, I told him how much I loved the fullmoon scent and how I'd love to see it in a cologne, and asked if he'd ever though of expanding his line into making colognes. He never responded to that point, but when I saw that bottle, I knew exactly what it was. I'm so happy to have it! I hope he does continue to made colognes, because I can see myself wearing many of his scents.

For a minute there I thought the skull and hands were also from Oz as well.

Nah, just some of my table decorations. But it would be cool, if for special holiday releases, that artisans did trow in a little something... or offer something as a special set. Not all THB like, but just a little something.

Thanks for the report!
