Not as impressive as @alfredus above but this will keep me going for a decent time!

Definitely nicer packaging though

Less than a fortnight

Paladin 28mm Somerset Falstaff

​

Ivory has always been among my favorites for handle color. The Somerset material, exclusive to Paladin, is hands down my favorite version of this classic. Difficult to pick up the sheer beauty this material exhibits. I sense a Somerset WC-XL in the near future.

Beautiful @nervosa1901 - pictures rarely do Paladin brushes justice

You didn't get Passione as well?......

You didn't get Passione as well?......

Haha it was a close one. I had to show some restraint. It was either one full set or just the soaps and splashes in each.

Mail call!!!

Amazing complex summer scents of all these products. These sneaky businessmen know how to make sales!! Thanks @todras

The sabbatical is progressing nicely!

Had to take advantage of @SchoolForAnts restocking his splashes, so purchased all 3 Also received and order of splashes from @todras - Bombora, Passione & Bay City... Super fast delivery & can't wait to try them. Back to my self-imposed sabbatical

Went the Bay City myself @Razor Burn - another insane scent for me....

Opinions so far on Passione & Bombora? @tim33z @LukehGee

I haven’t used either yet, but smell is to die for!

 

[Greenpike]

Saving money for the wedding of course but couldn't help this one. Been dying to try the soap and so why not do it with Dan!

 

[LukehGee]

@JohnB413 Bombora is great.

The soap and splash performance is the same as the winter releases. The menthol in the splash is a perfect level for me, but that's on the light side I guess.

The scent is the freshest APR I have tried yet. I get lemony up top with a salty sea breeze thing happening behind it. There's also a little bit of sweetness in there too.
