Yes, they all smell similar to ARKO and Derby is almost the same. Not used the Camelot or GZD but other members have commented.

Sorry but with a smartphone I really don't see the point of having a watch as well, nor does anyone I know who is aged under 30! If I wanted something really fancy I would just buy a better...

These are what I am wearing today for work (out on the moors today). Bet not many other readers have a pair like this!

In the UK everyone was wearing them 20 years ago. Wearing cuffed pants here (called turn-ups in the UK) just looks like you've not changed your wardrobe since the millennium.

The D R Harris soaps are only lightly scented such as the Arlington.

All the Turkish soaps are similar in scent. The nearest rival would be Tabac

The basic Culmak brushes from a drugstore are decent for the price

Don't apply excess pressure and don't carry on using a blade when it is going dull

Depends on what is in it. It tends to be AS containing citrus oils which are unstable and go rancid readily (smells rancid like rotting orange peel) Clove and nutmeg oils also are unstable. Cedar,...

Unless you're a goth or a death metal fan, not a lot of interest really.

If a swastika is straight up and down it is the symbol for peace and harmony in Buddhist and Hindu cultures (the tails often point counter-clockwise whereas the nazi ones always point clockwise). ...

Feel around to find the bits you missed

I find the cream makes a huge difference. Try something like Cyril Salter or Trumper as well. Some people have found that TOBS not as good for that.

Another thing that increased my razor burn...

Brylcreem is a brand of pomade

I prefer the Rocket as it's a better handle for gripping

PAL and Gillette bakelite tech reduced to $5 each now

I've ebayed some of the other stuff in the box I don't need already and made about $20 off it so far so quids in! My aim is to make enough from it to fund the repair and replating of the RedRing

Went to the local agricultural salerooms last week and amongst other things bought a large wooden box of miscellaneous old nails, screws, spanners small tools and lots of junk. When I got home, in a...

Gillette Fat Tech sold thanks

If your cream has dried out, take the lid off and lay a damp cloth over it long enough for it to soften again.

Clearing out my den to make room for some more stuff. Offering a 7 o'clock razor as a PIF

Razor requires restoration - bend combs to straighten and needs replating. FREE to someone who is...

The prices are high because they expect to be haggled down. Give it a try next time.

Geo F Trumper is my go to house

No date code. Just says "made in England"

Open to offers on all of the above!

Decided to offer the 7 0'clock as a PIF

D R Harris or MWF work best.

The Voskhod are the same as the Ladas but with a teflon coating. Personally I can't tell the difference but I use a really slick cream, in fact I can't tell much difference between any of the Rapira...

Marco, be aware that the Floris soap has recently been reformulated and isn't a patch on the original stuff.

Bestshave replied to say it will be available as soon as they are able to obtain it.

No never had a response from Bestshave

80s scents I remember were Quorum, Pacor Rabanne Homme, Fahrenheit, Channel Antaeus. Trumper brought out "Royal" for the Charles & Diana wedding, which was a typically heavy 80s scent and I did...

If I have to take regular showers due to work, I tend to only use soap / gel to wash the areas that get sweaty such as under arms etc and just use water on my arms and legs with no gel.

All our English essays had to be handwritten and if your writing wasn't good enough the teacher would make you write it all out again or it wouldn't be marked, which soon made people improve quickly....

Checked on Bestshave website but they don't seem to have it yet. Emailed to ask and will post answer on this thread.

I like Bath House Spanish Fig & Nutmeg, and Scottish Fine Soaps Classic. Some people don't seem to be able to get a decent lather but I've never had a problem.

Tabac.

Yesterday was Salter Vetiver

Don't forget Cyril R Salter creams as top quality English creams. Value for money these are my go-to creams other than Trumper

All the Trumper creams are excellent. Violet is a bit of a strange...

Trumper Marlborough. Mainly to please SWMBO as it's her favourite (on me that is, not on her) though I do like it too myself of course

Here in the UK it's not taught so much in State schools nowadays, though some still do. However the standard of school handwriting has been recently criticised in government and there has been a...
