Gents, A quick warning. I ordered from that site once as well and had good luck, but members from another board, which will go unmentioned, have reported difficulties. The word is that if they screw up your order, it is next to impossible to get any satisfaction from them, as they do not respond to ...

British brick and mortar stores carrying Erasmic?
Gents, particularly our British brethren in London or Manchester, My cousins attend school in the cities listed above, and will be coming "State side", as they say, in a couple of weeks. They have offered to pick up some Erasmic shave cream and sticks for me (and maybe some Ingrams), and t...

Gordon, You are absolutely correct regarding the general lack of knowledge about the high end British scents. Coming from a family where all of us (my parents as well as my four siblings) wouldn't leave the house unscented, I'm always a little surprised that people become curious about fragrance as ...

Andrew, Well, if you wanted to stay away from designer scents, you should have mentioned that to Cathy, as all the samples she gave you, save the Castle Forbes, are designer. And as an aside, there really isn't a Bandit Pour Homme. It may now be marketed as such, but when Bandit was created by famou...

Andrew, Re Jacomo: you hit it on the head about the 80's night club scene. Perhaps that is why I like it so much! It is a bit of a smokey, patchouli and spice bomb, perhaps not as gentlemanly as is preferred in these parts. It is one, though, that I would NEVER wear in anything but cool/cold weather...

Michael, Great list of vetivers. One small note: in the US, the 1948 Creed Vetiver can be purchased in 2.5 oz bottles at Neiman Marcus. I have the new Carven Vetiver, and while I can't tell you if it is back to the original formulation, it is much better than it's previous incarnation, and is very g...

PHS1, Whether triple-milled soaps are superior to glycerine soaps is a matter of debate. The shaving properties are quite clearly different in that triple-milled soaps tend to provide more cushion, especially, at least for me, the tallow based ones (e.g., DR Harris, Tabac). Triple-milled are much mo...

Tony, Lots of good suggestions for colognes, as well as the reasons for choosing. One scent that came to mind that might well suit you is Hermes Equipage, a very refined, mature floral (mainly carnation) that is quite elegant, and works well year round. You can probably find it to sample in your cit...

Scott, The top bottle that you purchased is an EDT, and should have decent longevity. The huge (25.5 oz) plastic splash bottle is an EDC, a great bargain frequently found for under $10, but it is quite light. The EDT can be purchased in either spray or splash, and the container is glass. Regards, Ba...

This is why, honestly, I thought the SMF III brush looked absurd. Some people really like it, though. -Dan Yes, well, the SMF III brush IS a bit of a bloomer, but it is surprisingly effective with soaps, as well as being excellent with creams, so for those of us who don't have a king's ransom inves...
