chris - funny, coincidentially i've just bought myself and have been using a crystal deodorant as i've been reading that all the aluminium etc. in regular ones can be absorbed through your skin and is bad for you. that cumulative build up of chemicals in your system over many years etc. you are a Dr...

guys, i recently bought a block of alum from Trumpers and used it for the first time today after a shave (futur/feather). however it may be the last time i use it. the shave was largely as expected, no real nicks but a few wee blood 'spots' from individual hairs - nothing major (i am experimenting w...

I myself find Corey's writing entertaining, and I think plenty of what he writes in reference to these forums, etc. is in an effort to spark discussions like this one here. I'm sure he's reading every bit of this discussion and gets a kick out of how some people takes what he says so personally. ye...

guys, just wondering what your general views on the shaveblog site are? it is mildly entertaining sometimes, and it has always been self-indulgent, which is perfectly all right as it is someone's personal blog. however it has recently been turning into a bit of a rant platform for the author against...

there is no mrs paddy. mind you it could be one of my housemates. that's got me thinking now...... anyways, little footnote. i have of late been writing off for lots of samples and free stuff, with a bit of luck. so far have got trumpers stuff (twice!), t&H, molton brown and floris samples. i re...

dunno what just happened there in the last few posts. this tub of Trumpers has got a lot to answer for! either way, for what it's worth, i thought ouch's story was pretty funny.

guys, I have been using a tub of Trumpers Rose cream for the last 4/5 months or so. I shave every other day with it but I am still less than a third the way through it. I swear that sometimes it is more full than the last time I looked at it. It's like it's multiplying or something! At this rate it'...

i always lather up directly on my face. i find i get a much smoother, well lubricated shave that way compared to when i lather up using a bowl. dunno why that is though.

PM sent - let me know you got it ok.

guys many thanks. food for thought that's for sure. gordon - sorry! should have narrowed it down a wee bit. i would prob be aiming at the $100-$200 price range and have average sized (i think!) hands. dave - a bit of google surfing from me has also turned up the following web address for savile row ...

howdy all! a newbie here chiming in for the first time, although have been reading the site for quite a while. my question is this - i am going to buy a new brush. i am willing to spend the money for quality as i know that a good brush will last a couple of years or so, so i don't mind spending the ...
