Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts about the best source for some of the American artisan brands? I'm thinking specifically of Chiseled Face and Declaration Grooming.

Neither seem to do international shipping on their own websites so I wondered if anyone would be able to share their experience of ordering from another vendor who ships to the UK?

Or stick to UK/EU brands. It's easy to become convinced US stuff is best, because of all the chat on this and other forums, but often gear from closer to home is just as good or better. So convinced am I of this that I haven't bought any items from America for at least six weeks.

Damn right, for me OSP soap is as good or better than any American artisan product that I have tried.
 
I have A&E Kaizen which is extremely good but bloody expensive. I bought a pinnacle grooming set for not much more than the price of the Kaizen soap alone. Agreed P&B, Wickhams, OSP all up there with the best US soaps.
 
Thanks all. I have tried a few UK and Italian brands (Phoenix & Beau, Oatcake Soap, Goodfella's Smile) and the performance is excellent, but haven't managed to find the perfect "woody citrus" scent that I'm after. That's why I was looking at Declaration Grooming Trismegistus and Chiseled Face Santa Ana.

Happy to support the local economy if anyone has any good suggestions of UK or European soaps which might fit the bill (preferably with a matching aftershave splash or EDT).

Extro cosmesi do a good citrus/woody scent. O'selvaggio I think it's called. I have the splash and it's lovely. Starts off very citrusy and as it dries down the woody and amber scent comes through. Maybe worth a look?

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually love Eau Sauvage (which is the fragrance its inspired by, I believe) so will definitely check this out.
