RE: Ffff Gilette!
Thanks Hando - I mentioned car detailing above and the message is the same. Prep. Prep. Prep.
I live in Halifax ... not a million miles away from where Mitchell's is made! I drive past every day on my way to work. I've noticed the sign, but not considered what it is they do. I was online this afternoon looking on an American website which carried Mitchell's ... and blow me down, it said "Made in Bradford". Google maps, and ... whoa! It's there. So, that's what they do.
Destiny.
I swung by this evening and the house has an "Entrance" sign. I was driving, but that looks like an invitation. I'll give them a ring and swing by at the weekend for some good soap to accompany my gear which should be winging its way to me now. I also have some Bluebeard's gear coming, which I understand their soap is Mitchell's under their brand.
Destiny.
Soap it is. I have a badger hair brush coming. Okay ... okay ... it's "Pure Badger" but OMG!!! How much for the next step up? £50 ... £100-£150 for a silver tip! I'm not against spending £100 or more on a car wax (no, seriously) and can certainly see the benefit of that kind of money on a brush. It is the last shaving brush you'll ever need to buy. I might just have to sell a wax or two to get into this new hobby.
Thanks for jumping back in, pal. Appreciated.
I've read up loads ... just need a good sleep to let it settle and have some fun when my 23C arrives.
Cheers, all!
