Interesting observation.... after looking at a barrage of PJ2 pictures, I have found my PJ2 (a few years old) has a slightly different handle, in that the "
jar shape" is more pronounced.... seems like it would be harder to make like that, so they changed it? Who knows... regardless, that is a GORGEOUS brush Jerry, I'm highly jealous, I want a new PJ2 too!

Glad yer liking it as it will only get better once in full bloom!

Merkur HD/Merkur blade (day 2)
Vulfix 2234
Proraso Green Tube

Em's Place Lavender Hydrosol

I'm getting to rely on Proraso too much for the shave itself because I like its chilling finish so much... I'm going to grab some pre-post and see if that lets me get the cold I want while letting me get back to the wonderful world of the three Ts.

A reasonably good aftershave balm/moisturizer. Pleasant clean smell. The Pure fragrance is a bit sweeter this year than last year, but pleasant just the same. It's one of those "nice to wear" every so often when you aren't layering with your shaving soap or cream. Here's a photo with a SOTD some time ago:

Not extremely expensive, but good quality. You don't have to worry about being in a crowd and smelling it on everyone.

Cool SOTD Craig!! Keep up the cool pictures, and enjoy the brush! Maybe we'll see a review of that bad boy lathering up one day?
