There are no shops like that where I live. I refuse to shop online, due to bad personal experiences with online shopping/mistrust of certain websites/items going missing or turning up tampered with or damaged.Not seen it on the high streets
Only specialist shops , such as their own boutiques, or online from the usual shaving shops

While that may or may not be true, I refuse to shop online, as I mentioned in my post above. I prefer to shop the "proper" way, with proper bricks and mortar shops. I trust shops. I certainly don't trust certain websites, or their delivery drivers.That’s because in that type of shop you’ll be talking to uninterested retail staff with no knowledge of the products or wider market

I wouldn't want to live in a world without shops at all. That would be horrible.
I will just say that there are quite a few shops where I live. I value those shops very much and I wouldn't want to lose them.Where do you live?

I grew up in a world with shops and hopefully there will still be shops around when I am taking my last breath. I am aware that not everyone will value shops in the same way that I do, and that is their opinion. I am merely stating mine.
I live in the Midlands. The nearest city to me is Birmingham. I'm sorry if I caused you any offence, because it wasn't my intention. It's just that there a lot of nutters on the internet and you have to be careful about what you tell people. I apologise if I reacted harshly, or if I appear to have taken your post the wrong way.No mate, I get it, I was asking to see if I know of somewhere that might be near(ish)
Where do you get your razors?
I would tread very carefully. There are certain members of this forum who don't seem to like me very much. I would be very careful as to who I gave my personal details to. It would be so easy to be scammed.What about from forum members?

I usually buy my razors and blades from Boots. I buy most of my aftershave/EDTs from either Boots or The Perfume Shop.
I haven't been to Birmingham for a while, either. There used to be a John Lewis there a while back, but I think it closed. I used to buy quite a few EDTs from there, whenever I was in the city. That was before our branch of The Perfume Shop opened here, though. Now, instead of having to travel miles, I buy most of my EDTs from there instead, and also Boots. It's handy to have a useful shop like that practically on my own doorstep.Not been to Birmingham for a while now, but I would imagine it would have a few upmarket/independent department stores. One of those could be worth a try.
Thank you for those suggestions. I'll have to go and have a look in those stores if I should get the chance to. I haven't been to Birmingham for a while, though. It's probably changed a lot since my last visit.
I think this is often the problem; especially with those that new to DE/SE shaving. Preshave oils, balms, splashes, EdT. The desire to put use every unguent out there.I'd go with one or the other type - aftershave splash OR aftershave balm.
Since you're applying skin conditioners anyway after the balm, I'd say forego the balm and use the splash. Once dried, then apply your creams. I think my only concern might be that perfume oils get trapped by the emollients. The point of an aftershave splash is to give a heavily alcoholic cleansing and drying after shaving - this is contrary to your needs, evident by you applying creams. So, long way round of saying ... probably don't bother, given your regimen.
Longevity isn’t the point of an aftershave lotion. Also, we can get used to our fragrances; thinking that longevity is on the wane when it isn’t.Finding an EDT or aftershave lotion that actually has staying power is something of an issue for me. There are many that I really like, but they require constant "topping up" throughout the day. Even fragrances like the mighty Aramis and Fahrenheit don't have quite the same longevity on my skin as they once did. I blame it on re-formulation.
They are different beasts:I don't think that I've seen many "colognes" in shops here. Unless you are referring to EDTs or EDPs, of course.
I've always regarded the word "cologne" as an Americanism. You would probably be met with blank faces if you asked for a "cologne" in most shops in the UK...
