What’s new to you?

Nice Chad, I'm interested in your thoughts on it.

Chris, I have the same brush. Sharp looking and a good performer. Hope you like it even though MUCH smaller then your favorite BB
 
Well just got back from Pasteur’s. Didn’t go nuts considering it will probably be my last visits in 2018.
\ndama de noche is a great scent (like anything Eufros has done isn’t) if you like the deep floral scents. It and Ylang Ylang are POWERFUL boardering on WOWZA
 
As far as pomade goes I really need to use it because the gel (cheap especially) light my scalp up. I don’t really use as much as y’all. I bought 2 tubs of The Holy Black last year, gave one to my son and still have a bit left. I’m liking the premium blend suavacito but the regular stuff is much more firm holding. I got the holy black on sale ($5) and paid $10-$15 each for the suavacito.
Ifyou need something that will lock your hair down and last forever try American Crew superglue. I got a tub for a buck but I understand it’s a bit pricey. I use a pea size and have helmet head when I’m done.

I’ll definitely check out the American Crew Chris. My hair grows in a million directions and does what it wants. If I don't use some sort of product in it, I basically look like Kramer from Seinfeld haha.
 
Nice mail calls Chris and Chad!

That brush is awesome Chris! I’ve heard good things about Yaqi and they’re relatively cheap.

Better luck with this bowl Chad!
 
The problem I have with American Crew is that it is much more than most smaller labels and you only get a two ounce container.

This Past stuff I have is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. And it smells really good and light.
 
I'm pretty sure it's printed but not certain. Busy compared to others but it's their trademark and I like it.
That's good to know. I was able to get rid of the printed words on a WSP brush with rubbing alcohol and a magic eraser. I know what brand and grade of hair it is; I don't need it printed on the handle.
That's a minor complaint I had about my Paladin. Soap scum got into the engraved logo and was hard to clean out.
My Rudy Vey is nice and clean - no branding on the handle.

That's my complaint about those, too plain ??? I keep my Paladins clean. No problem.
 
Mail call today. Got it for a nice deal on BST

Hope it works good for you. To me it looks like the bottom of a blender.

Should definitely whip up some lather though.
 
I received a couple of brushes. First brush is a 24mm Elite Razors White Manchurian fan knot in a green milk glass handle. The picture doesn't do justice to how the handle almost glows. The second brush is a 21mm Shavemac Silvertip D01 bulb knot. Looking forward to trying each of them later this week.

 
Well Doug sent a deathtrap I mean some blades


And included this razor that NurseDave tried one time
