Re: European shaving equipment exhibition – Poland, Poznan, 08 – 09th of May 2022

Wow cool, I see plenty of nice rarities along all of the shelves! Were there only Polish Bussiness invited or were other European companies also in attendance? If so, do you mind sharing some of the companies who attended the event? Thanks from Sweden!

Re: Shampoo that won't make my scalp itch

I "suffer" from a quite bad case of seborrhea, which the common types of anti-dandruff shampoos like for example "Head & Shoulders" that doesn't help at all and does absolutely nothing to combat my scalp issues. The only products that have helped me and succeeded at combating...

Re: TOBS Shaving Shop

Those who haven't tried this one before, this is a great deal for a shaving cream that's no longer in production and also pretty hard to come by nowadays I reckon.

Re: Where is Everybody?!

God Dag! Nice to see you, Ollie! Nice to see you too, my friend! My life has, unfortunately, been rather hectic recently, which most likely is the main reason behind my recent absence from this great board and subsequently probably also why I haven't made any new purchases for quite some time eithe...

https://i.ibb.co/m4SMTvh/20220125-230637.jpg I recently received a bottle of original vintage Truefitt & Hill Spanish Leather cologne (I believe my bottle is about 20 years old or so, made before the modification at least) and it, fortunately, turned out to be a really pleasant cologne! Gordon ...

Re: Acquisitions thread

Two vintage bottles of T&H Spanish Leather and Clubman, which the seller said he bought in the 90s and I think one can also tell that due to the bottle's more rounded cap, compared to the more rectangular caps they use today. According to posts by Gordon, the total alteration of the scents happe...

Re: trumpers rose soap

I had a similar experience with Trumper's Sandalwood shaving soap. The scent did not even resemble what it used to be and the performance was downright dreck - exactly as Gill experienced. No matter how much soap you dug out with your brush the lather just completely dissipated within seconds. And ...

Re: trumpers rose soap

Such a shame - the old stuff was good. Are all their soaps now made witht the new recipe introduced with the Eucris soap? C. I think so, the new soaps are garbage. I have a cake of the new stuff and some tallow cakes and the scent is different as well, it's sweeter than the old one, I definitely pr...

Has anyone tried Floris rose-scented mouthwash? I'm quite tempted to buy a bottle but it's awfully expensive.
