Just arrived from the "gairden", the Simpson Commodore X3 best badger - a proper brush - nicely packed with a note of good wishes and a tuck of Nacets thrown in too, lovely gesture Graeme. I'm off to try it out now.

Holy smokes that is an enormous blade gap.

It's supposed to be aggressive, but it looks terrifying.



Maybe one razor to start off with a Derby blade!

I expect a great reaction to this tomorrow from my SOTD and from my wife! I’ll expected to be treated like a 60’s or 70’s boss!

Visited my wife's family in the UK and got a bag of goodies... 2 Cyril Salter and one Mitchell wool fat soaps and Old Spice AS... All stuff not easily available in Belgium.
Thanks mother-in-law!

Nice where'd you get the lemon Turkish cologne from?

Been wanting to get some since I seen the YouTuber barber turko or whatever his username is been mentioning it before

Saj, I have a few of the Turkish lemon colognes and there isn't much difference between them.

I bought mine from local Asian and Turkish grocery shops in my home town. Have you had a look around the ones in your home town?

I could get mine for a few quid for a 150ml bottle.

Like I needed more Vintage Williams."Vietnam Nam Era Army Bootcamp Gillette Shaving Kit. Unused bootcamp issue shaving kit." Saw this set with a starting bid of $10 or best offer and watched it a few days. Sent a offer of $15 yesterday and couldn't believe it this morning when I saw accepted, pay now. I say, Yes!
