Doesn't look like that's the brush in the photo, though...? 🕵️‍♂️ 😉
You caught me!!
Initially, I had the Heritage brush for the photo, but the long handle of the Dubl Duck 4 made the photo look off-balance so I swapped it with the Semogue 2016 LE 2-Band. Old age kicked in and I forgot to change the script I had copied over from my notes.

Happy Holidays!

Doesn’t happen too often, but I decided to change the soap today - I was using A&E’s Ultima Cathedral - but I definitely don’t warm to the scent of it. It’s just says "talcum powder" and nothing else. The AS is a bit more complex, but still … sorry but no. Went with Pantarei’s Tabacum instead - that is a real “cathedral" smell…
Don’t get me wrong and no disrespect: the mechanics of the Ultima soap is wonderful - it is very slick and cushioning. Top marks there. But not the scent.
