The one I currently have has the feint smell of automobile oil. The one in the cupboard seems to have a hint of coal.

One of the "Sue's" from Badger & Blade forums?  |

I see. If you get the urge to branch out, there are three ladies named Sue that I can highly recommend for handmade soaps. Also, a couple of pharmacies in NYC carries a lot of soaps, shaving creams and equipment -- if you find yourself in Midtown near Macy's, well worth the couple of block walk to stock up. |

My first brush was from there, but I haven't tried their creams or soaps. Have you had good experiences?
I'm partial to the Taylors of Old Bond Street and Proraso (and in turn not really fond of Turmper's). There's a host of different brands out there and it does take a while to work through a tub... |
