Hi all, I'm planning a trip to see a friend in the Channel Islands, in the next week or two, but haven't flown in a while, so am not up-to-date with the current regs re: shaving kit, so was wondering if one of you nice lads (or ladies) could help me out? Can I take DE blades on board? If so...

Sorry for your loss. :( I own two mechanicals at the moment; a Tudor Royal, which I'm going to get restored and my pride and joy, a Omega SeaMaster DeVille 18ct non calendar automatic. :)

Nice one, @Boab BKs really are the dog's danglies when it comes to home user subs :)

When I got my Parker 65R, I got myself a stainless steel shaving bowl and a wire drip stand, but after using the new brush yesterday, I'm finding the bowl's a little too small for that particular brush, where it was adequate for my Body Shop synthetic brush. Add to the fact that I had to add...

I was looking for a while at alternatives, Kent being one of the main ones, but the price put me off a little, considering this was to be my first "real" brush and when I saw the one I finally settled on, I was pleasantly surprised at the cost, too :) I've since used the brush again and I've...

Thanks for the advice, guys. :) I used the brush for the first time tonight with some TOBS Sandalwood cream and although I love the feel of the brush (It's super-smooth, even compared to my Body Shop synthetic and "splays" enormously :) ) what I have noticed is that it struggles to hold a...

Hi all, I recently purchased one of these brushes, from *that* auction site. I know it's probably been asked 1001 times before, but what is the recommended procedure to break in a new brush? Some posts I've read say to use a little shampoo and others say to use a little talc to help, so I'm...

You're absolutely right! My late father gave me what I now know to be a Gillette Slim Twist, which gave a great shave, but unfortunately has been lost in a house move, sometime in the past 20 or so years. :( I'm currently watching an auction on *that* site, so I might be back, asking for...

Hi there, Have you considered a Parker 65R? I've had one since Feb this year and shave every other day with it.

Just enjoying a late night can of Stella and a few friendly games of 8 ball pool on FB, to help unwind a little before hitting the sack

You should have given your friend directions to the store so she could pick up another bottle to share with you ;)

@antdad I think I might have to audition one of these in the next few weeks. :D

Hey don't do yourself down, bud that's a pretty decent setup. :) As long as you're happy with what you've got, that's all that matters at the end of the day. :)

I'm considering bi-wiring the MR4s. Currently all speakers are just straight wired into the AVR and will probably need to be recalibrated (again! :rolleyes: ), 'cos the OH just informed me she "accidentally moved" one of the fronts, when she was being slap happy with the microfibre duster...

I can usually be found pumping out a fairly healthy dose of Tanya Stephens, when I'm travelling to/from work :)

@antdad - How do you find the MA/Onkyo combo? Before I purchased the MR4s, I was running a set of Wharfedale DX-1's (don't ask! :rolleyes: ), which were okayish, but the MA's sound a little harsher, or "brighter" to my ear, at least. I'm thinking, as I said before, to sidegrade the Onkyo for...

lol yea who'da thunk we'd have interests outside of shaving? ;)

I wouldn't say biggest mistakes, but if I knew now what I knew then, I wouldn't have purchased either my WS shaving brush, or Derby Extra blades

+1! When I'm out that way, which sadly, isn't that often, these days, :( I usually pop in there on the way home and grab a large chicken Shish, with extra onions and mayo sauce. :) Certainly fixes me up for the ride on the "cattle truck", AKA Overground to Stratford. Not to mention it makes all...

Tea with milk and 2 sugars for me for the next week. :( Got a poxy chest infection at the weekend and the quack's told me because I'm asthmatic, I'm high risk, so it's a course of antis for since yesterday. I don't mind the Amoxicillin, which I've had before, but the Prednisolone 5mg tablets I...
