Thanks for your reply, Gordon.
I think, I read something about the connection of Visconti and Knize Ten on this forum.
Cary Grant - Acqua di Parma
Winston Churchill - Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet (also Floris and T&H)
Lucchino Visconti - Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet
David Niven - Knize Ten

The Scent Of Which Legends Are Made
I was just browsing this forum and sometimes there is someone mentioning a famous person like Cary Grant and informing others that Grant wore Acqua di Parma and a legend like Churchill wore Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet, Visconti liked the smell of Knize Ten etc. So, I thought to myself, wouldn't it...

Today was the day. I finally got to use the Italian Floid after shave. To my surprise, it did not burn and I mean no burning at all. That was a very pleasant surprise. I don't mind a little burning sensation, but no burn at all is even better. It's been a few hours now and I can still discern a subt...

I do it this way... First, I apply the after shave and that usually burns a split second of infinite agony. Then, I use a moisturizer or just Nivea creme for sensitive skin, because I use that almost every day, even if I don't shave. I want to to try out some shea butter in the near future, it is su...

Well now. I find myself tending to smaller brushes and my Plisson HMW #10 is probably my all-time favourite, but I'd be slightly wary about committing to anything smaller. The #10 is a 20mm knot and works superbly with creams and soaps, even in my monstrously hard water area (you carry the stuff no...

And I thought I made myself clear...just take a look at the location I have stated. But seriously, I live in Duesseldorf, which is a city in the western region of Germany. Just a short hop from your place over that little pond between us. No big deal, if you are a good swimmer with very, very, very ...

To Everyone Who Owns A Plisson In Size 8
Hi there, could you comment on the performance of this brush in that particular size? Meaning, how well does it produce lather from a soap or cream, is it stiff, are the tips of the hair soft, does it have a lot of "backbone", how does it feel on your face etc.? I understand, there might b...
