officer & gentleman is my favourite.

some people might enjoy the scrubbing effect of the brush, granted. but to say that physically this then somehow affects the position of the individual hairs in the lather and has them all 'standing to attention' (for want of a better phrase) rather than lying flat (i never have this problem with st...

For me personally, exfoliation is not a brush function. The razor does that job!

there is nothing that i dislike about shaving.

here we have turned, what most men view as a chore, into an enjoyable pastime and hobby. that is a pretty decent state of affairs.

has anyone ever tried the osma shaving soap - any good?

yes, i've been using thai alum crystal as a deodorant for quite a few years now. cheap, natural and no nasty chemicals.

has anyone ever tried the osma shaving soap? seems to have alum in it as well, which is interesting.

the highly coloured ones such as e.g. trumper violet.

some folks find they spoil the whiteness of the tips and don't like using those creams for that reason. it's purely asthetic though. no cream as far as i know does actual damage to the brush as such.

in the uk it is illegal for a driver to run over a dog and not report it to the police. cats on the other hand have no such luxury.

i would like to get my hands on another pot of this fine shaving cream if someone has a NOS one in storage and would be willing to part with it. i would be willing to talk cash, or alternatively i have lots of nice discontinued stuff in storage of my own which i'm sure would have value in any trade ...

ahhh, i see. that phil!

can you please let us know where this can be bought.

CONUS only please.

awwwwww! no fair.

will you be buying a replacement?!

i have a puck of the oxford and cambridge and also the no.88. i picked both up on ebay 6 months ago at about £10 each.

i've only used the oxford and cambridge so far and it is a top performer. the scent is just ok though. the no.88 is sitting in storage.
