Whoops, sorry about the size of that last pic.
As a postscript, the assistant in Taylor's store told me that the cream in the tubes and tubs is exactly the same formula as I remember that being discussed here before.

A trip to Jermyn Street! I am sooo envious.

I used to live in London and the occasionally self-indulgent walk down Jermyn St. was always something I thoroughly enjoyed. Shaving, shirts, shoes: it is a cornucopia of men's supplies. It has been about 4 years since I was last there, but I can't wait to return.

Cheers,

You are right dzspiro, it is just a delight to walk down, especially as you can then go round Regent Street and Oxford Street. The credit card took a hammering that day.

Today, I think I have you all beat...... Cookie's 4 beautiful babies and a bottle of Dom from JoAnna....

With that said, I am going back to sleep again.....

Cute and I'm not talking about the champagne.

Congrats.....

100 Feather blades(courtesy of cotton blossom-however, no free razor!)

Wooden soap dish (for alum block)

As a result , I have now organized my medicine cabinet into a shaving cabinet; unfortunately, it's not big enough to hold my creams, mugs,and my after shave balms.

On to the next order!

Today:

Kiwis. Not quite ripe yet, so I figured I'd use one for a still-life. And...

But did try to shave it.....

Hi Jim,

That looks like the Omega from Personal Beauty on Amazon. If so, I think you'll really enjoy it: I enjoy mine!

Cheers,

I just had to post pics on my latest brush.. Its a shining new Muehle-Pinsel Handmade Silvertip. Got it for just about 40$.. Sweet... Sorry about the crappy pics - old camera..

Derby blades and Arko cream: Its "Celebrate Turkey" at my place!

Cheers,

 

[crackstar]

Danny, wait til you try the Arko "Sensitive" cream! It smells so nice, and there's a good cooling and soothing effect, especially when you rinse your face with cold water after a shave. The "Commando" cream lathers like crazy, real slick, and also smells great.
Happy shaving!

Thanks Jeff. There are so many folks on B&B that are Arko fans that I am very anxious to try this. Sadly, I hacked-up my face a bit this morning (perhaps too many days on the same blade + using the Vision set too aggressively) that I think I'll have to pass on shaving tomorrow just to let my face recuperate a bit. So, it'll have to wait until Sunday for my first Arko experience.

Have a great weekend,

I'm shocked that it took four whole days until someone asked!!!

My Omega Elegant arrived today.

 

[ratcheer]

I went back to Target today and bought spares of Proraso shave cream, pre-shave cream, and liquid cream after-shave, just in case they decide not to re-stock it.

When I checked out, the lady at the cash register commented, "We sure sell a lot of this. I had never heard of it, before." I told her that I really like it, that Target is the only place I can find it, and that I hope they keep carrying it. I doubt that my comments will get back to anyone that matters, though.
