Old style Tobacconist

[slash]

Found an old tabacconist today near where i live stocking shaving gear.. Proroso at £4.99 for the 150 ml soap and merkur razors for £13 but not sure of the models had 2 differant ones short handle and normal..will be back..only bought the proroso as its one of the few soaps i have not used as yet.

I found a good one in Cheltenham. Like chemists and pubs they are always worth a look if you are passing.

Gauntleys in Nottingham is well worth a nip in if you're ever round this way.

They have a 'walk-in' humidor. I ended up with a box of 25 Cohiba Siglo IIs.

They sell Merkur DEs, Dovo straights and other bits and bobs.

The young lad in there makes bespoke cigarettes too - if you fancy being a bit 'James Bond'.

Good call on the Cohibas Vinny!

Vinny and Andy share a lot of my shaving preferences (Rockets, Cella etc.) so it's nice to know we smoke the same stuff too (Or rather what I would smoke if I could afford it.)

Where's the shop in Cheltenham? Opposite (ish) the museum?

And for Londoners, or those visiting London, there is Shervingtons - right outside Chancery Lane station. As well as stocking tobaccos of all sorts, pipes, cigars, snuff etc, they carry Merkur razors, and Shervingtons-badged Vulfix brushes, and creams, and Dovo straights.

The shop premises were illustrated on the original Old Holborn tobacco packaging. That image has now been replaced by that of an elephant.

UPDATE:
Visited the store very recently and, sorry to say, it seems they are cutting right back on their shaving lines, focusing totally on their tobacco-related lines. Still had a couple of strops, brushes and creams left though.
