London Vendors for MWF

Gents, A little help please. I am headed for London soonest. Staying right off Picadilly Underground stop. Already mapped GFT, T&H and TOBS home stores for visits. I was wondering if anyone can point me to a merchant in that area that stocks a decent supply of Mitchell's Wool Fat products please...

Dead Post resurrection warning. Was reading through some old post and caught this thread. I know some of you are collectors of shave den items. I found this while looking for the Stephens Talc on line -- some interesting "Talc Items": http://collectibles.rubylane.com/collectibles/,c=Vintag...

I second Dripp. Nancy Boy moisturizer is OUTSTANDING. Just buy their body moisturizer, it is better than any of the expensive facial moisturizers I have ever used. I use a little bit after the Thayers witch hazel. It has no scent, dries right in, no greasy feel. AND, a bottle will last you close to ...

One of my favorites.

You can get it on AMAZON for a very good price if you buy about 6 bars at a time.

I have used the alum block deodorant for years. RIGHT after the shower, and I use a little bit of alcohol in my palm to wet the stick. It is works better than anything i have ever tried. Bob

You could try Mitchell's Hand and Body Lotion. It is very good, and smells very similar to the soap. I have used it often and I always find myself wondering why i dont use it more often. It is not greasy, and soaks right in. It is actually not a bad deal on price either. TO ME, MWF soap smells more ...

VULFIX 2236 Super Badger - $44 Like New

Gents, It is like New - I lathered with it maybe 10 times. It works great. It is just too big a brush for me and I always use the smaller Simpson I have - somone should use it, it is a really nice brush at great price. $50.00 shipped in the USA.

Taylors creams, Trumpers soaps.
That said I am not that fond of Trumpers soaps.

Taylors Avacado and Rose, int that order are my to favorite creams period.

Wish I could find a Bay Rum cream that was really good.

I use the drug store witch hazel add about 10% alcohol, and the following EOs.
Lavender EO - 25 drops
Rosemary EO - 15 drops
Pepermint EO - 10 drops

Smell just like the Nancy Boy cream.

Nancy Boy body lotion. The body lotion without PABA. NB body lotion is outstanding. No Scent at all. Light and absorbs completely in seconds to a nice matte non-greasy finish. Best I have found in 30 years. Plus it comes in an 6 oz bottle for 16$, and will last a whole year.

"The Fatted Rose"

OK for your MWF purest this may be blasphemy, but I gotta tell you this has become my favorite shave. Load up your brush as usual with MWF soap, then add a just a tiny pea-sized bit of Taylors Rose Cream to the tip of the brush, and lather your face as usual. MWF on Taylors Rose - reminds me of thos...

Preserve Replacement Blades

For you cartridge users out there. Yes I know most of here use DE, but I use the cartridge when I am in a hurry, and I get a great shave from them. Anyway, Preserve Replacement Blades , the twin blade, not the triple are really outstanding. They are as sharp or sharper than Gillette Sensor, they can...

MWF Bath Soap?

Does anyone use MWF bath soap? I use the shaving soap and love it. What if anything does the bath soap smell like, similar to the shave soap at all? And while I am asking MWF questions, how about their moisturizer, you guys like it, and does it have a scent at all? I was thinking of ordering enough ...

shaved brushless for a year in Iraq wit Proraso Green. Works wonderfully. You can not use a brush in 'not so good', to put it politely water as it collects nasties that will grow on you face. Just use the left hand to lather and the right to hold the razor. Three passes with the same amount as you u...
