You must nearly have the full range of NF by now @Darkbulb. That's a lovely brush.

I do have a few
Didn't have this one in a two-band before so happy to have it and it performed beautifully.

I always liked the look of speedplays or lolly pop pedals as people used to refer to them in the shop.

They are brilliant.. I've used them for years..
This is a new pair for the summer bike, so the old stainless ones will move to my all season bike, and the standard speedplays will move from the all season bike onto my CX bike...

 

[Redd]

Apparently I have another (flat base) Aristocrat Jr on the way. The wife asked 'haven't you already got one of those?'

'No', I (rep)lied

That's a terrible photo, even by my standards!
Proraso pre shave cream from a tobacconists in Manchester and Tom Ford tobacco OUD from Selfridges, went through the entire range Selfridges had in and it was very very difficult to choose one (had some vouchers from my birthday) nearly got the OUD wood and the tobacco and vanilla but plumped for this in the end.

Yes, I think the proper name for it is an arcade? I like going in there lots of interesting tobacco as well.

Yeah it does smell lovely. You a pipe smoker by any chance?

 

[flobberdob]

No, I gave up smoking cigs about 18 months ago. Used to like a fair bit of wacky baccy in my younger days as well. I could imagine indulging in some pipe tobacco though. Do you?

Yeah used to smoke cigs and the old green but not for years. I did smoke a pipe for a while but I've given up due to been told that I've got the lungs of a 50 year old at the age of 30, at the work medical.
So got a couple of pipes I was going to pif, nothing fancy though.

 

[Boojum1]

Received this really nice NOS New Forest two-band badger in with a great 19-20mm knot.
It ended up being the brush I used this morning and it performed as well as I think it looks

That's a cutie!
