June 2018 Acquisitions

[Tazzimus]

Some of the stuff I've been waiting on arrived, plus they actually got Palmolive in my local Tesco, think that's the first time I've seen it over here.
I also bought a tub of Wilkinson Sword, but that was mainly for the tub ha

Yardley gift set. Now that I have it, I'm not sure if I'll keep some or all of it or sell some, since I have plenty of other stuff.

Ooohhsaaaaa, me loves florals! The Dama balm to match the soap I already have (a gift from kind Manuel on the occasion of the birth of my second daughter — thanks, Manuel!)

Ylang Ylang soap — first sniff, and I love it. Was told it was weakly scented but can’t say that about my tub.

Samples of the two latest additions to Manuel’s lineup and I get predominantly chamomile (cronos) and, I think, cinnamon (Zanzibar), very similar to Brisas de Oriente.

And finallly a Miller Harris sample befitting my geranium obsession.

Congratulations on the birth of your second daughter Halvor! Ylang Ylang is my favourite of all of Manuel's scents and I also wouldn't call it weak scentwise (perhaps if measured against some American soaps it could be described as weak). I have the matching balm which compliments it very nicely and give a very pleasurable shaving experience indeed. I also really like Dama so will be adding that balm to my order whenever the Badeas soap orders go in.

@halvor you’re right the handle on the King is more my style but the Classic is such a beauty

Is the handle base completely flat or does it wobble? My boar Taj wobbles like a weeble

Looks nice. How bad is the wobble? I had a Maseto which did exactly the same

Reminded me of one of these:

Mine's completely flat, Paul. No wobble.

Mine too. A €100 brush and the handle base isn’t flat
