Did it require any special cleaning?

Nah, a rag and some Maas.

Very nice indeed. I'd be thrilled to find one at that price and condition in the UK.

You will not be that Lucky. Most come from USA and postage often is around £12 +

Our friends across the pond are so lucky to have such a broad choice at reasonable prices.

Still sniffing the Wickhams Parma Violet I received this morning, this stuff is simply lovely.

What are the knots in the two BS brushes, Erik?

The M&F is a "Blonde" 2-band. The Lil Arley has one of Brad's older 24mm 3-band 'Finest' knots. The new manchurians are better IMHO.

Il postino just gave me a parcel and inside a ATT SE1 courtesy of a gent in this very forum.

Me too... I can still pick up the scent from my brush 24hrs later. Amazing product and it performs brilliantly too!

I love mine and it does calm and improve once out of the shower. It's just a tad raw out of the box.

You were right, it does die down. Used in the shower and it didnt seem over powering, smells great infact.

Good stuff.... I purchased mine after a recommendation by @Uncle Bertie

I swapped a very nice cased fatboy for this rather intimidating Ikon B1 slant with OSS handle! Thanks @Scuba Steve

I'm really looking forward to learning it.
