Yes, it was from eBay. I've never seen it come up for sale on the forums (in the last few years anyway).

Great idea. Since I'm going to the store today, I may just have to try this. A little pampering would be good.

PM sent.

The Simpsons are truly great brushes. I have an X2 and an X3, both in Somerset Best, and they're wonderful, pretty much in the middle of the spectra of density, backbone, tip softness, and bloom for all my brushes. But yours needs some friends..... John, if I wanted to stay in a similar knot size b...

I just picked up this vintage tube of Penhaligon's Castile shaving cream. I'm looking forward to trying it soon.

My wife and I have started watching episodes of the BBC series Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot on DVDs from our local library, and tonight I was amused to see, in an episode called "How Does Your Garden Grow," the great detective come out of Trumper's original shop on Curzon Street, talki...

The only products with which I've done something similar are Floris Elite soap and shaving cream. The FE soap lathers well on its own but is not quite as thick or heavy as I like, regardless of the character of the brush that I happen to be using. When I add a touch of the FE shaving cream to it, th...

Some of the ads say "c. 1900."

BUMP

The lot of 100 Platinum Plus is still available, and the price has been reduced.

These have been sold. Thanks to SMF and to the buyer.

If anyone has any Czech & Speake shaving soap, either the No. 88 or the O&C, that you want to get rid of, I'd be happy to buy it from you.

Good luck. I'll look forward to hearing about your progress, and perhaps trying one of the soaps in the future. I really like these projects.

Even with apparently authentic bottles, I think one must be very careful about the seller. I've seen a number of empty aftershave, EdT, and cologne bottles for sale on eBay, some even with their original box, and I must assume that the buyers of those don't mean to refill them with the real "ri...

That would be ideal. And in every hair ever offered, Pure, Best, Super, and Extra Super (Manchurian). And I'll have to buy another house in which to store them all. Does that mean we will see a "WTB: House" thread in the future? :D Right. "Have no money after buying brushes. Need che...
