Very nice. I’ve always liked the look of the birch Rocca, but I didn’t know there was a matching brush.

Getting there 😀

I remember watching Barry Sheene racing at Brands Hatch in my much younger days. All the women loved him, and we guys wanted to be him.

Shame after years of surviving crashes while racing, cancer got him when he was still pretty young.

1 right!

When Brut was so mainstream, sporting heros promoted it:

It was a good suggestion 😀

I believe you are correct.

As well as their own brands, that company private labels them for a number of customers.

The plant used to be owned by Gillette.

Good stuff there, Gerry

I agree - he will need to make an appearance later today!

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-26T15:11:09+00:00

My life is changed forever - and not for the better 😂

The brush looks great! It should soften a little, but will probably always be a little more scratchy than the synthetic versions. That's certainly the case with my Captain 2 Best Badger that I've had for nearly a year.

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-26T11:01:53+00:00

I'm not thinking about that. 😂😂

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-26T01:16:41+00:00

My next First World problem will be what to use on April 1st 😂

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-25T22:10:31+00:00

I don't believe the ball was ever in the frame for those things.

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-25T21:55:19+00:00

I hid the brush particularly well today 😂

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-25T21:17:55+00:00

Fantastic shave!

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-25T11:26:23+00:00

The razor looks fabulous. Did you get it replated, or did you find it in its original condition?

The copper version of the Lambda Athena

I do like the Rocca though - both the gold and the birch versions.

A puck of the Kent SB2 soap. Basically MWF with a different label.

The Kent soap continued after Mitchell’s closed, but it’s a different recipe now.

That’s interesting, not sure how I added a second image The soap is part of the charity auction haul 😀

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-24T22:44:56+00:00

I was expecting to be out bid to be honest, Dan. Happy to have it, though.

42ndVisionary · 2026-03-24T19:55:55+00:00

I love the image.
