    High Street Gear

    I managed to lather the new Ingram by mixing it with Lidl unscented tallow hand soap. It's fine like that but it was dully sent to the back of the draw with all the other useless curiosities from early year's (Erasmic stick 2015 formulation, some Edwin J Sandalwood and some horrible Polish cream...

    Ingrams to be relaunched

    Ingrams to be relaunched

    It's back! It was seen today in the wild in Bristol, the new incarnation for £1.99, unfortunately no more Goodall sheep wax in the content list. Old vs new

    Keto Help!?

    Due to the pandemic and the move for full time wfh I stopped moving as much, are way too many things I shouldn't, and by May this year I was told my blood sugar was on the verge of diabetes. I moved to a 50g carbs a day way of life as the logical response. My blood sugar is now back to normal...

    Leaf Razor vs Twig Razor by Leaf Shave

    I used DE for over 35 years and the Twig dethroned everything I have, I don't think they can improve the design and I don't think there is a point in doing so.

    I'm getting old

    Nah, it's in the ground there. I lived in North Deon when I was 33 working as a gardener. When mowing people's lawns I got some serious bites from something invisible, it left big scabs on my legs that took years to disappear.

    Rapira razor (not blade)

    I have one, it's not mild but nowhere near an R41 for example. My Twig run circles around it efficiency wise.

    Shaving foam and DE razor

    Not all shaving foams and gel created the same. Foam from Noxzema and Barbasol works well with some DE razors/blades combo in my experience. My Flat bottom 4 piece Gillette from 1945 loaded with a modern Russian blade gives enjoyable shaves. The Nivea aerosoled gel is also fairly slick. The...

    Stirling Gentleman is finished... what next (Stirling)?

    Only have one of Sterling's creations and it's the Rambling man which I think is another of Creed's tributes. Gorgeous scent and top performance, these guys certainly know how to knock out a good shaving soap.

    Shave Sticks

    I think the only sticks available on the high street nowadays are Boots Freshwood in the larger outlets, Taylor's in some places like tobacconists and Arko in Turkish shops, ..oh ye and that strange Nivea stick.

    Tabac Re-Formulated - Now Tallow Free

    Naha, I have a fairly new block of TFS soap which is as good as Tabac so will leave it in place. I think he stocks it for some of the older clients around, he also used to stock Palmolive and WS sticks up to last year but now only have WS bowl and Palmolive cream.

    The Pinaud hard soap is candidly close to Hi-Karate.
