Go gently with the Trumpers Sandalwood EdC; it's powerful stuff!

Thanks for the tip!....Haven't tried it before so it's a bit of a gamble.

Got my Xmas presents from Shave Lounge:

• ATT SE1
• Kai Captain blades
• Feather Pro Super blades
• Marvis Amarelli Liquorice Mint Toothpaste

All have to go back in the box until Xmas though.

Also went to the Grassington "Dickensian" Xmas market and saw this little locally made pottery pot and thought it idea for soaking my brush while I take a shower.

Great presents!....The pot looks ideal for the job.

I'd taken the train to work today and had an early finish so decided to stop off in Lewisham for a short while (not normally recommend but they have a huge three floor TKMaxx )

I walked through the shopping centre and saw a Tiger shop. Excellent for stocking type pressies so I popped in and this is what I found



I opened the lid of the box to see what sort of dungy cartridge razor it was and found a genuine DE one!!!

I'm guessing the brush is boar bristle and although it's done quite a bit of shedding during a good wash it doesn't smell unpleasant at all. I'll give it all a go in the next couple of days.

Six quid the set!!!!

It is so odd brushing your teeth with with something that tastes like that. It is nice though, once you've got your brain around it.

Bought it for a girlfriend once, the mint overpowers any licorqurice

Looks cool and I'm sure this is a daft question but what is it?

There's more info in this thread than you may want
There are even a couple of members here on TSR that are crafty enough to make their own.

Nice powdery finish after a small test on back of hand. Looking forward to the vigorous mentholated-ness!

The Black Friday discount was too tempting. Today the three Pannacrema Nuavia scents arrived secure.

They are really nice packed and without even opening the jars a lovely smell is filling to room....
Enjoy your weekend, gents.

Where can one buy these in the UK?

Shave den items bought in the last few weeks...

1. Old test tube rack as a razor stand...I cut out the larger tube holes at each end to fit brushes.
2. Vintage Ever Ready blade bin...seen very few of these around nowadays so I snapped this one up for a few quid.
3. Tri-corned glass bowl on copper base - not designed for this purpose but it makes an excellent brush pot!

Very nice.
I've been looking at test tube holders recently.
I was a bit put off by two of the holes being bigger but that is a fantastic idea.
