Had a look in our local Polish store - TEZCOs - but they had none on the shelves ;)

Ania's Polish Deli in Galashiels (and Anna's in Hawick - related but not the same business) both used to carry it - before Tesco effectively forced both out of business. Have to go to Embra for the Polish stuff now :roll:

I saw a Polish store when driving through Musselbrough a couple of weeks ago, is that on your Embra route HM?

Castle Forbes Lavender today - I'm beginning to wonder if this stuff will ever get used up. So much lather from such little product!
Proraso balm finished things off nicely. Then breakfast at The New Forest and Hampshire County Show. As I strolled round, I wondered if I could lather up volunteers and flog a few brushes at next years show.

What an absolutely spiffing idea Fido! Perhaps you could share a stand with another vendor, and do exactly that! As long as you are not attempting to shave them also, what harm can you do? You and participants will have a lorra, lorra, laughs, and you will flog a few brushes, and how very eccentric, good PR too. It could form the basis for your launch in to general sales !! :D

You mean like a soap maker making natural soaps? :ugeek:

Yes HM, why not? These stands are quite expensive, but if you had say, three vendors sharing the same stand eg: New Forest, Nannys, and an AS/ASB/ maker - then surely it becomes viable ! I know , however there are rules and regs. governing both the sites and stands at all these shows, and so this idea may not be feasible :|

Thursday

Merkur 39C Slanthammer
Feather
New Forest 2201
Monsavon
Witch hazel
Nivea Sensitive asb

Monsavon? Non. It looks interesting, has a nice scent, but doesn't work well enough. Sounds like quite a few things from France.

Lord Tech
Astra SC (3)
Simpson's Wee Scot
Nanny's Lavender Soap

Tabac AS

Absolutely fantastic shave. The best for a while; I've had some very good shaves recently but this was sublime, everything gelled.

With all the Wee Scot talk (and buying frenzy :oops: ) last evening mine came out for a whirl today and my, how I've missed it. Lovely to work with and Nanny's Lavender soap is as delightful as her other soaps.

Thursday
Edwin Jagger DE87 with Feather blade
Simpson Tulip 2 (two-band)
Mitchell's Woolfat
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
 
Thursday

WS Classic with WS blade
Vulfix 2235
Erasmic tallow stick ground into a bowl
Alum
Envy EDT

Used another cheap razor today, I still quite like it but its very mild and my normal 3 pass shave gives me a SAS, it would be quite an effort to achieve a BBS. Coupled with that the Erasmic stick and it was disappointing. I can whip up a slick lather with the Erasmic but it falls apart in seconds, no opportunity to take time over the shave you have to get it done before the lather collapses, I'm going to try it once more with purified water and if that doesn't cut it then its binned.
