Congratulations , folks !!!

You have a pm , my friend.

http://teistebrito.com/var/albums/Fotos-de-Teiste-2013/P1270328.JPG FS : a Kent Silvertex shaving brush.This brush is a lather machine but a little smaller that I was expecting. This brush has a knot between 19/20 mm and I thought it was going to be between 21/22 mm.Also a perfect brush for traveli...

I'm almost out of my tub of BB cream and was going to order more of it today. Until I saw the current price that is. The 150g tub is $50 (albeit in a very nice glass jar with a silver lid), and the same size plastic tube is $42 . For that price one can buy 3+ tubes of TOBS, or 2+ tubes of Tumpers o...

Marc :

give me a couple days and Ill come back with a price.

Yes , its a nice brush indeed.

For trade : a Rooney 1/2 (from 2006 , if my information is not mistaken) for a Truefitt and Hill 1/2 silvertip (any handle color) or a Muhle 23 mm STF V 1.0 I prefer the logo of T&H on the 1/2 handle style , to be honest. The brush is quiet dense with super badger hair (silvertip) , and has a kn...

I wrote this for another shaving forum.Hope this could help. Vulfix/Taylor of Old Bond Street Traditional shaving soap : http://teistebrito.com/var/albums/Fotos-de-Teiste/P1240453.JPG?m=1339912960 O maybe I should say Truefitt and Hill shaving soap?Or maybe Geo F. Trumper Oxford Blue or Officers and...

Gary :

I think many of us will be so happy if Trumper would find a new "soap maker" which could provide a good/superb product , as the old tallow , and old veggie based shaving soaps used to be.Fingers crossed...

I'm capable to make good lather of the Eucris shaving soap. I'm not capable at all to make good lather of the new Sandalwood shaving soap.Both seems to have the same soap based ingredients/formulation , however , the new Sandalwood soap is rubbish.I have two Sandalwood veggie based from 2009 which l...

I was watching yesterday a "Poirot" episode on the PBS , and David Suchet (the actor who have played Poirot for over 20 years now) was outside Geo F Trumper shop in London purchasing a fragrance and being greeted by "Mr Trumper" himself.The funny thing is that the perfume gave.....

What the production staff did was to get a bottle of Curzon after shave for that scene! I sure hope it was the after shave version! Note the badger hair quality in the window as he leaves the storefront! If only I could walk in there circa. 1991 and load-up on a few choice items I have in mind. Bil...

Gordon : you dont know how much I do enjoy reading your post , sir. Glad to know you got your beloved brushes now.I must say , that if I will have to choose some brushes (like 5 or 6) , some of your brushes will be on my list , like the Simpson Colonel in best badger or the D.R. Harris H3 best badge...

Thursday: Gillette Model #58 & Gillette 'Swede' Simpson X2L Colonel T&H Lavender shave cream D R Harris's Pink A/S Trumpers Spanish Leather Gordon Thats a BRILLIANT shave : the #58 and the Gillette Swede are a perfect combo.Is the Colonel a Somerset era brush? The T&H lavender should be...

I have it and performs very well indeed.Palm oil based and a nicer scent than the Trumper sandalwood one , but I like both , since they're very different to any other sandalwood scents I have tried so far , including the AoS one.This one has some leathery notes with some fresh ones , and for me , br...

Chris : I have tried several Geo F Trumper soaps (from the talow based ones to the new veggie ones) and never got a problem with the lather , but Eucris , and that have even changed recently , after watching a video. To be honest , the new Geo F Trumper coconut and sandalwood reformulations (with so...

I live on an area with very , very hard water and with soaps I load my brush over 40 or 50 seconds ,specially with triple milled soaps.If the soap is not a "dud" , then I obtain plenty of thick lather with no problem , even from Mitchell's Wool Fat.

Teiste, The last D R Harris's Lavender cream I had was the 'new' stuff and it was excellent. I never tried the Vulfix Lavender cream that I can remember. I did get their Sandalwood when those creams first came out and I thought it had an odd texture so I never pursued them any farther. It 'worked' ...

I will always be grateful to this forum and its members for all the good/quality info provided regarding wet shaving, and how this place is an example to follow in many different ways. I might be embark on a new project but , for many of us in that new project , SMF is still a place to admire , and ...
