You forgot Adamastor

These all smell so good and having read a few reviews I know they will only get better once lathered up

The Omnibus Sandalwood (once it firms up a bit) is a wonderful scent in a top base.

Another one right there is Tiago’s creations. I prefer his scents over B&M. They are executed beautifully. Really fond of Westman’s ingredient list and lather.

This isn’t a reflection on @Hone and Andrew who’s been helpful throughout the process. Looking forward to testing it over the next few days, I hope I love it as much as the brass as this is far and away the most expensive razor I’ve owned and some of the reviews so far have been mixed. That’s said I believe the brass was the the same review wise.

@LeeMaz Sorry about your experiences with ParcelFarce! It really is frustrating that as a small brand I am at the mercy of shipping companies who can't get their act together.

I really hope you enjoy your razor, and look forward to your feedback on the feel and texture, please lee me know how you get on. The texture has surprised me. I will post more about that in the pass around thread so as not to hijack here

What a wondrous label!

The scent is also wonderful, to my nose. I'm predominantly getting chocolate and cognac.
