I had a handful of 21mm NATO straps, so I looked to get a suitable wristwatch to use them.

Seiko VH31 quartz movement on this, cost 32 GBP.

during our life... we've only known watch owners that needed to find a new strap/band... not a strap owner looking for a watch... & nice watch...

From Yourshaving. A soap I had in its previous formulation is back, now in CK6.

CK6 is the soap that works best for my skin; it's a shame we have so many problems importing it in Europe, so we have to stock up

Do you mean it's like I have in my basement 4 new tyres and looking for a car without wheels to put them on ?

Just arrived.

Simpson Duke 3 in Platinum fibre.

It feels both softer and more dense than anything I’ve tried before. Excited to give it a try.

Your new brush looks great! I‘ve used my D3 three times in the last two weeks. It’s a smaller size handle but remains highly usable. If you get one with a knot you like, it is fab gear. Enjoy the new Duke.

Why thank you, sir!

Your own collection is incredible, glimpsed in the Simpson Appreciation thread. So far, all my brushes have been relatively small, so the handles on the Chubby 1 and Duke 3 suit me just fine.

Used this evening, I can say this Duke 3 might be a new favorite. The additional density/backbone makes it quicker to pick up soap from the puck. It shed at least a dozen fibres though, several of which were just from shaking dry at the end.
