Post shave care

Monday morning! Nice chat last night. I think this may have been discussed before but before the squeeze, shake & towel do you all finish with a hot water rinse alone or do you follow with a cold rinse for a less floppy brush? Max

Randy, We bought Mom a house a few doors down-we had to-she was looking younger than all of us-modern times oh modern times! PM & let me know what kind of cars you sell-not that cars are my area but we provide a lot of the mini mill steel products that go into these puppies.

Maybe I should lock this thread. Simpsons are the "Manufacturers of the Finest Shaving Brushes." We can't fall in love with a European brush maker. And to think my mother was born in Cornwall-how am I going to tell her?! Hmm brush or Mom, brush or Mom... Max

The knot cannot be felt on mine-Very similar to Simpson's. Maybe they went to the same training school-the Vulfix I can feel. Max

John, That was my initial impression as well comparing it to the Chubby 3. Mine is beginning to really bloom and I now prefer it over the Simpsons. Let us know your reaction after giving it a workout. I have a feeling the SMF club brush group will keep growing! Max

Joel, A man after my own heart. Bern seems like a great guy (we need more of his type around after recent events.) I would love to find out more about this Company. They toil away in a small hamlet of Bavaria like Simpson's in the West Country of England but the density you mentioned is something to...

John, No problem at all. Everything that flies into Boston gets cleared a lot, lot faster than New York from my own experience. Why, who knows, but Kennedy airport is like their family-they had too many kids resulting in a backup of sorts. I hope you enjoy your delivery as much as I did!

Shavemac review

Hi All, God does this Company deliver quick (& I live in the hills of Vermont). Now take into account I only used it for the first time this morning (XXl Horn handle.) Standing it next to my Chubby 3 super this baby IS packed more densely & it is clearly silvertip (whatever that means.) Righ...

Joel,
XXL Horn ST must be beginning its travels from Germany. I have a feeling it is quite cold in that airplane belly-I will warm it up once it arrives!

Marsim, I'm hijacking this thread-saw your post on another site. I live in a cold winter climate & use the Skin Food during those months but once I see a flower bloom Harris' Aftershave Milk becomes a close friend. Great product especially if one lives in your part of the woods. Max

Hi Chris, Know Morristown well. Creightons was founded in Twickenham-the present home of the English Rugby squad. Not much of a website but they produce what we all use- http://www.creightons.com. Max

My Miami friend, I have been around these sites since the 'Beginning'. A well timed and well stated post. Right on Brother Right On. They are all trying to produce a great product even if most of them are formulated at the same location (Creightons). Good Luck to all of them! Max

Hi Guys, Received the Sandalwood yesterday-wow indeed. Pure Sandalwood EO is something not to miss. I can see now why it may be the most sought after soap. I know there was a chap over on wetshavers once who is a barber over at Trumpers-like to see his review! Max
