    Contacting a seller outside of Ebay

    It's up to the seller if he or she wants to negotiate outside ebay and I certainly won't be losing any sleep over ebay not profiting from the transaction.

    Deep cuts

    Yep...wound/steri strip + LiquidSkin glue is my usual goto cut care regime. It isn't a liquid plaster which is usually cack as you say but a modified superglue.

    Cant for the life of me get rid of these razor bumps, please help

    I'm a big fan of witch hazel so I can imagine how good that could be, Sudocrem is quite effective too if used sparingly.

    Porn

    Luv cheese cake in most forms and the Americans seem to be the kings of that dessert I'm happy to concede. It's the reasonably unnatural combination of high fat and sugar that triggers all those unhelpful responses.

    First Cold in 18 months.

    Just a couple of things, if you're over 50 you can now get the flu jab for free so worth doing if you're of that age or even paying for one if you're not. The benefits of chicken soup are widely known, you still can't beat getting a bird and sticking it in a pot with a few veggies and preparing...

    Pre shave cream: useful?

    There used to be a highly qualified industrial chemist (I think) and soap maker called Henk who used to be active here. He always stipuated that it was water absoption that physically softenend/weakened the hair so as long as you degrease the beard (say pre shower or face wash) that allows the...

    Shave Sticks

    I think successful stick use depends on the amount and type of stubble acreage you have at the time of shave. By that I mean if you have a fairly full beard with more than a day or twos growth you can easily rasp off enough soap for a decent lather. If you just have a few chin scraps, a tash...

    Tabac Re-Formulated - Now Tallow Free

    The scent difference (puck & stick) can be noticable, I even wrote to M&W and they confirmed the same stuff was in both. I could only conclude at the time that the stick container stops the soap from drying out as much and as a consequence knocks back the scent when it becomes hydrated. Got rid...

    Tabac Re-Formulated - Now Tallow Free

    Panicked, luv the Tabac stick so ordered a few from Amazon UK yesterday. Phew, the sticks that turned up are phatty. Mind you I still bring out a full fat OG Penhaligons English Fern for a twirl every now and then. For the youngsters nope the reformualtion was shite, so much so they stopped...

    anyone got a water filter? noob needs help pls :)

    Just noticed these "high performance" filter systems, UK drinking water is actually pretty good especially compared to parts of the U.S. Everything is killed by chlorine. https://www.screwfix.com/p/bwt-high-performance-water-filter-kit/37975#product_additional_details_container

    anyone got a water filter? noob needs help pls :)

    You can spend £30 or £300+...if you're just getting into it you could go for a water jug filtation system like Brita but the filters are a monthly outlay. I've had a type of carbon cartridge filter system plumbed in for years, once you've installed the kit the cartidges are relatively cheap as...

    What are you waiting on to arrive ? July 21

    Superb find/purchase, I was dreaming about the OS scent the other day. Despite it's age does the soap still have it in abundance?

    Guilty Secrets

    Deluxe roast chicken sandwich... made from next day leftovers where I like to use some of the fat drippings in the tray to spread on bread/roll and chicken flesh, pure filth and ten times better than mayo. Gribenes - if you ever buy chicken pieces like thighs for example they always seem to...

    What are you waiting on to arrive ? July 21

    After stumbling across across Peter's Yaqi brush thread a while ago I thought I'd take a punt on a 24mm 2 band with a two tone handle in cream and dark green. Not ultra quality in fit and finish but what do you expect for forty quid, it's a gift so unused but great value for a medium large brush...

    Cant for the life of me get rid of these razor bumps, please help

    I've only skim read some of the responses so forgive me if I'm repeating what's already been said...medicated or dedicated creams and powders for ingrowns and razor bumps are all very well but all you're doing is trying to resolve a problem you're creating. Shaving the neck is tricky because...
