Col Conk is one of the few soaps I still use. I like it.

Interesting Journey
I joined smf in 2005. At that time I purchased some Colonel Conk shaving soap based a review by Chris Moss. He considered it the gold standard back then. I Also bought some Coates cream based on a review by Gordon. Next came a Gillette adjustable, which was very popular in 2005. Since then I have pu...

FS: Vulfix 377 Bespoke Silvertip
This is a great looking and great performing brush with a bit of history behind it. It was custom made for Gordon, (the Duke of Silvertip), by Vulfix using true silvertip hair at a time when Vulfix did not generally use true silvertip. $65.00.

Re: Are we there yet?
Squire, You remain a comforting connection between the "old days" and the present. You are "there" but still make the effort to contribute and keep alive the basic fact that this is " just shaving after all".

Re: Personna Hospital Use blade
Gordon, I'm glad you finally latched onto these blades. I have been using these and the old iridiums almost exclusively for the past 2 years. I get 7 days out of each with no complaints, but I only do a 2 pass shave.

Re: WARS Shaving Cream
I get a kick out of these posts that started so many years ago and then resurface. I did try the Lider cream, but found the scent to be somewhat like an industrial cleaner. Wars, however, is still in my "arsenal" and gets used occasionally when I can tear myself away from Coates.

Coates Rose cream
When I first joined this forum in 2005, a lot of members were praising rose scented creams and soaps. I tried the QED rose soap, but had so much burning that I traded it away. Since I really liked the scent, I decided to try the Trumpers rose cream. It too caused burning, so I gave it away. I haven'...

Re: Is Coate's still on the horizon?
Andy, you ARE the world's only existing/remaining source of the good Coate's as it once was. It's an honor to have you here! It seems that everyone else's only relationship to Coate's is all talk and nothing else. Maybe they're trying to talk it back into existence. It's so much easier to talk abou...

Re: Vintage Coates Almond Shave Cream
I have now used all 6 scents and I have found that all except the almond have been very satisfactory. All have given me nothing but excellent shaves. I have a considerable stash which I will store in my wine cellar. I will report back in 10 years and let you know how they hold their scents

Re: duration of Coates tubes
I will use them at will, but probably not every day. I still have 4 pots of Coates that I have yet to open. I believe that I have a lifetime supply, however there are a few other soaps and creams that I enjoy using and will continue to do so.

duration of Coates tubes
I rarely use tubes of creams, however thanks to Andy, I now have many, many tubes. How long can I expect a tube of Coates to last using it every day?
