I was in John Lewis today and picked this up for £5.95. Is it a rebranded Mitchells wool fat?.

I ordered this on 20th July whilst in Majorca on holiday. I was still on holiday when it was 1st delivered on the 26th. Today to my sheer delight it was re-delivered. Shame I'd already shaved.

Tell us more about that beauty, please!

This dirty thing arrived today.
Even the case has antique dirt







It'll have a soak in the ultra sonic bath at the weekend

Well, I've been delivered more 'antique dirt'... Congrats on the set!

Cheap but it's supposed to be a strong long lasting fougere

It arrived today and it is great for the price. It starts bright with a touch of citrus but drys to leave a classic fougere. It's long lasting too. If it's your kind of smell you will love it

Hello Juan
It's the brass General made by Colonial Razors. A forum search on 'General' will give you more info than I can give you. I shaved with the above today and WOW. Ultra impressed.

After some major generosity from @Fox, I'm now the proud owner of a tub of Wickham Club Cola! My god, doesn't it smell divine! :O Such a gentleman!

I does, doesn't it?

Wickham's other citrus scented are as strong - Citrus Musk & Frankincense being two that spring to mind. Serious helix of sweet and bitter citrus whirls straight up your nose!

Enjoy! You will ...

The Bogart Pour Homme is top notch too Wayne.. cheap as chips but smells great.

Yes. And just as good! Enjoy! Forget all the pomp and fluff around it and just use it as a soap ...

A slim adjustable. It's a bit tatty but what a great razor! It's the first adjustable I've owned and if I'd had this thing way back when I started I don't think I'd have bought half as many razors as I have.
If I had to/wanted to only own one, this would be it.

Received the STOUT today and some Truffitt and Hill No10 from Shave Lounge, excellent service as always.
