Re: Do I need a boar brush?
I have all sorts of Somerset Simpsons and other brushes I once found delightful. These days, though, an Omega boar is just what I look forward to with each shave. Silly, really, but there you are. Similarly, I spent a kings ransom on badger brushes and ended up settling on a couple of semogue and o...

Re: My recent Trumper's Almond
Didn't they change to lid stickers at some point from having the logo printed directly? Might be a clue as to vintage...
Edit sorry I misread the op- some googling suggests trumpers never actually switched to label stickers like TOBs et al.

Re: English Fern tallow soap by Penhaligon's
I remember it seemed outlandishly expensive at 20 quid for a puck and 30 including the wooden bowl. I'd bite your hand off for that offer now:)

Re: The state of the current English Shaving soaps
Any recent purchases/thoughts?
I'd use my wetshaving time machine to stock up on vintage trumpers rose. The scent was unique and even the bowl shape was ideal. There was at one point a veggie version that was pretty good, but it seems even that's a thing of the past, alas?

WTT (my) Lijun 2-band Finest brush for (your) puck of soap
Its this one I have: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=221006079267 24mm knot. Handle the same quality as Shavemac or Simpsons. The knot, less so. Its very very densely packed. Wall of badger effect. The tips are pretty soft and tbh its not that dissimilar from a couple of ...

Re: Please tell me about Trumper Rose soap
With all the reformulations, I admit to becoming a bit lost! My current tub of Trumper Rose soap is over half gone. Doubt that what I have is tallow; too new for that. When the time comes I hope to buy a refill puck. But I have read of reformulations and re-reformulations to the point that I do not...

None for me for almost a year. Used to shampoo my greasy hair every day as soon as I woke up. Made conscious effort to do less often. About 3/week with a very small amount of shampoo. Then I started washing my hair with Olive Oil soap. This was better. Soon after stopped using even that. Now just wa...
