From @TroyTools a "'Trubby 2.5" (based on the size difference between a Simpson Chubby 2 & 3). The brush is in Curly Jarrah hardwood with highly polished CA finish set with a 2 Band Badger knot ex T Forsyth. A beauty to behold @Phil Harmonica you were tempted with the Supplejack, does this hurt more

Seeing that lovely jarrah is a nice reminder of when I lived in WA. Pity they used to overuse the stuff for all sorts of things they didn't need to. I had an old workman's cottage (built c1890) in the middle of Perth for 20 years that was built on a jarrah frame, but all the internal walls were baltic pine. The white ants had a bit of a feed on the jarrah, but left the pine alone. Go figure.

I was going to ask how you got your mitts on the ex-TF knot, then I remembered Troy had a lot of stuff from him...

On special for less than a tenner, so I took the punt...

Well worth it. Great face feel, and a very fresh, green scent that is Myrsol-like in its unobtrusiveness. Great value splash.

I contacted a local potter last week to order a ceramic water jug for my shaving stand. It arrived today and I used it for this evening's shave.

The jug stands about 250mm (10") tall and has a capacity if just over 3 litres. It goes beautifully with my shaving stand setup and works well. Cost was AU$50 including delivery.
