[Shave to the grave]

Fantastic, I haven't been shopping in London for years, I used to love Oxford st and the ones you mentioned, I could do some serious spending in London so maybe it's just as well!

I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to go shopping in London Paul...

 

[Blademonkey]

Ha, yes I think you may well be right mate!

View attachment 20952 Had a day off today, popped into Taylors of Old Bond Street, although they're actually in Jermyn St(?) & bought a wooden bowl(just the bowl) for a soap I have. Crossed the street, into a small shopping alley & into my favourite shaving shop in London where I bought 2x Gillette silver blues & 2x bath soaps. The soaps are smashing. I don't know the name of the shop because weirdly, it doesn't have a name! Honestly. It's very quirky though.

These soaps are the Italian bath soaps From Nesti Dante.
There are more soaps and soap lines From that company.All of which are fantastic...

Two fine purchases Pat.

Cheers Paul, I saw the blades on the thread (your top three blades) a while back but forgot about them.

Received these five vintage Wilkinson Profile razors.
This is where cartridge development should have ended - two-blade cartridges are excellent shavers.

Opened up one of them and used it this morning and the shave was very, very good.
(And yes, another fantastic design by Sir Kenneth Grange)

 

[Darkbulb]

Received this rather lovely, smaller, vintage Kent brush in NOS/NIB condition. About $17.

It got added to my small 'collection' of vintage, white British shaving brushes;
