I was recently in a brick and mortar store in my home town and noticed several tubs of C&E almond oil cream. I know this cream has not been manufactured for quite some time, but this small shop said that the cream was relatively fresh. Interestingly, the cream was in a different tub. Rather than...

I highly recommend scentiments.com. I have purchased 2 bottles of Creed (Himalaya and Millesime Imperial) from them and have been very pleased. They are certainly legitimate and actually have a brick and mortar store in south Florida, which is where I purchased my colognes. Additionally, they are hi...

I received my horn handle, but I think that I am going to have it re-bristled by Rooney. All of the discussion on the heritage bristle quality has be intrigued.

I am going the Rooney route. I have not sent the handle off yet, but plan on doing so within the next couple of days. I will post pics when I get it back.

Hello, I recently received a genuine horn handle from Kimson and I am in the process of deciding what kind of knot to have mounted in it. I really want this brush to be something special, as it is a 30th birthday present to myself. I have been in contact with both Bernd at Shavemac and Lee Sabini at...

Max-

Thanks for the great pics! I am still waiting for my horn handle... I am now very excited and am becoming impatient

No, I have not ordered one yet. I am still waiting for the handle that the knot will be mounted in. I ordered one of the Kimson Handicraft costom horn handles (as reviewed by drP).

I do not expect to have the completed brush for about a month.

I have to agree with the above posts. I am ordering one of his handles tonight. After I receive the handle, I will ship it to Bernd at Shavemac for a rebristle. I made another post a few days ago about a higher-quality silvertip that Bernd can provide at special request (it runs $122). Although this...

Did you receive my email yet?

Yes I did and I look forward to doing business with you.

Wow! That knot is impressive. I am going to have Bernd use the higher quality silvertip. I hope it looks as nice as your brush! :D When the brush is finished, I will post pictures and a review. If this badger hair is again available by special request, I am sure a lot of members will be excited. Sam

I have been emailing Bernd about having one of my brushes re-bristled. I asked him if he had access to a grade of badger hair "nicer" than his typical (advertised) silvertip. He said that he can acquire a special silvertip grade that is "extra dense" with "thicker badger hai...

That sounds very similar to an injury I received about 6 years ago. I lost about 5.5 mm of my index finger on a meat slicer, while working at a sandwich shop (like you, to pay my way through college). The amputation was at a 45 degree angle and required a little plastic surgery. The slicer also brok...

I am the proud owner of a Saab 9-2x, which is actually a rebadged Impreza/WRX wagon (see http://www.saab92x.com ). The 9-2x is very similar with a few cosmetic, warranty, and performance changes. If you are a Subaru fan, I am sure you know all about the Saabaru. I really enjoy the boxer engine, exce...

I have spent a fair amount of time searching for an undershirt that will fit nicely under a buttun-up dress shirt. If you are wearing an undershirt, I feel there are several important characteristics. The shirt must be long enough to tuck in without bunching up over the course of the day, the shirt ...

I am looking for a shaving tube winding key, similar to those that come with C&E cream tubes. I have as many creams as I need right now, so I would rather not buy another tube just for the key. I have seen the keys on sale on the C&E website, but I am unwilling to pay $5 shipping on a $3.50 ...

The prices you mention for these brushes seem a little low. If I use current conversion rates, the price for the Chubby 1 best is $123.70 and the super is $179.94. If I am not mistaken, The Gentleman's Shop prices are in pounds and NOT euros. I believe you made a conversion from euros to dollars. Sam

Remember, it is not by the other toiletry items. Rather, it is near the check-out lines, by the counter where they cash checks, sell postage, return merchandise, etc. There is a small area/stand with various colognes. I assume all of the stores are organized in a similar manner. It seems the cologne...

I was buying groceries this afternoon at Publix and noticed they carry Musgo Real A/S!!! I am not entirely sure what parts of the country Publix is located (I am in S. Florida), but you might check it out. The aftershave is the only Musgo Real product I could find; it was located by the colognes, ne...
