    Leaf Twig / Thorn Opening Mechanism

    I bought it from Agent Shave. I did contact Leaf and got a very helpful (and almost immediate) response with instructions that seems to have worked. It was not intuitive, at least not to me, but I'm no engineer. Anyway.. onwards and upwards.

    Leaf Twig / Thorn Opening Mechanism

    Wondering if anyone has experienced this with a Leaf Thorn / Twig razor. After a couple of weeks use the part of the handle that twists to open the head has come away from the static part of the handle. A threaded manifold / washer is visible, which I presume should fit into the recess of the...

    Brush of the day.

    I have a couple of Zenith boar brushes and am very impressed with the brush and the knots. Great value and a great performer too

    Brush of the day.

    And New Forest Brushes too, I would wager. Certainly the two I own are in my regular rotation. Love 'em both

    I Coloniali Mango Discontinued!

    This thread, raised back in 2016, provoked me to order 2 pucks of the I Coloniali Mango soap. The two pucks have sat, sadly disregarded, in my shave den amongst other neglected soaps for nigh on 5 years. I did remove one puck from its packaging and I have to say it didn't inspire confidence -...

    Treet DE Blades - Any Treet Fans?

    I have to admit to a weakness for Treet Platinum. For me they are sharp and very smooth. I recently passed a pack of ten onto a friend and he also commented on how good they were for him. They are cheap as chips ( I picked up a tower of 100 for £6.99) so worth a punt.

    Pre Shave Is It Necessary ?

    I don't think it's necessary to be honest. Which isn't to say don't use one (I like the menthol based pre-shaves and use one quite a lot). I don't like the oils and only ever use those whilst in hotel rooms and using a cartridge razor. At the moment I am flitting between The Gentleman's Groom...

    Anyone used Restored Razors (Dave Glynn) in NZ

    One more recommendation for Dave. He did some work for me several years ago and I would more than happily direct anyone who wants a totally professional job to consider Dave.

    Products to use in hot day?

    I would definitely recommend cold water on a hot day, not hot water. In fact I'd recommend cold water on any day, but certainly on hot days. It will help

    palmolive stick DISCONTINUED !!!!

    This went around a few years ago so I picked up 10 sticks from local Tesco's. That report was baseless, but it seems this latest obituary has more substance. A very sad loss if it is true. A real bargain - cheap and a great performer. If you've never used one, get some in now.
