I think my best purchase was a tin of Nanny's Citrus Zinger.

The most surprising was a tube of Mystic Men shaving cream in Bulgaria for 60 Stotinki (27p) - I was shocked that it worked at all, never mind as well if not better than Palmolive (as a for instance)

Block Osma Alum. I've used it just about daily for a year now and i reckon there's another 4 months still left.

Yes there are cheaper alternatives, in the same way there are single edge BIC clones and canned foam in Poundland - you pays your money and makes your choices.

Now if you'll excuse me, Jade Victoria is on the phone :twisted:

Merkur Futur...

Although still having teething problems (getting better with each use)

This razor will do be great for special occasion shaves etc, plus it looks amazing.

[antdad]

A couple of Sabini prototype brushes that I'm growing to enjoy + a recently purchased Gillette #58 that I've been after for ages, waiting for it arrive.

For me razor wise it's a hard choice between :

The lovely Gottlieb Hammesfahr "Pyramide" Andy did for me, which since it arrived just before Xmas, has been my only shaver since.

And of course the beautiful Aristocrat I got from Sharon:

Don't ask me to choose, they're both lovely in their own way, and both shave better than anything else I have/had, and probably ever have.
If I had to get rid of everything save 2, these are the ones I'd keep for ever.
