The new tallow + goat milk base from A&E is, in my opinion, one of the best perfoming soaps.

Agreed.

English made Aristocrat #16 / #22. Once a little lime scale was removed, this turned out to be a beauty. eBay BIN seller described as a Rocket and priced accordingly [emoji16]

Haven’t seen them in a while! I’m glad you’re bringing some classics back!

I quite liked their old Sienna scent, if it’s still going, but my skin could only handle it when I diluted it with unscented Kiss My Face cream. West Indian Limes was pretty good too - cut with a bit of vetiver and ginger.

Ben, I believe Sienna has been discontinued, as has Nomad, although Moroccan Myrrh is supposedly the new name for the latter. I never tried either of those so can't comment on that. I had the West Indian Lime cologne some 5 years ago and loved it. Never tried the cream, however the Indian Sandalwood is a superb performer, hence the purchase of these two scents.

Black Anvil Brushes arrived yesterday - Stradivarius (L)/Major Tom (R) - photos don't do justice to how gorgeous these are.

My second great eBay BIN score from last week. NOS Old Spice mug and soap including shipper. It's Late Glass Mug 01 [ http://www.oldspicecollectibles.com/Mugs/American Glass.html ] so can be dated as late 1960's [could even potentially be my birth year soap]. Surprisingly it still has some scent.

I think, yes. I had "normal" Tatara (SB+OC) and they have same design.
