Thanks To Sunburyboy, Soapalchemist, Fido, joemcclaine, matt31, Sonny, audiolab and doubtless many others.
Why?
For supplying the tools of a perfect shave.
RAD etc notwithstanding I do believe I've found the perfect set-up for my face/beard/routine.
For the past week or two I've been using
Sharon's creams (plus a few others, including Henk's)
Two (very different) Stickys from Martin (Audiolab, a connoisseur collector) and Steve (Sunbury "Nick The Greek King Of The Carboot")
Fido brilliant brushes (on rotation so one can dry out while the other's in use)
Feathers (thanks Vinny & Matt)
Nivea asb (from Bean) or Gentleman's Tonic a/s cream (thanks Sonny)
Geo F Trumper's Sandalwood cologne
What's amazing is how many of these are in-house products (Fido's brushes & soaps/creams from Sharon & Henk) and how ALL of them (except the cologne) have been sourced from TSR members.
So: thanks all.
I've been thinking that I spend too much time on line in general and too much time here in particular, so I may be around a bit less but I did just want to thank you all (especially but not only those mentioned above).
I'm getting bloodless, rashless bbs shaves every time and two people have recently put my age at 34 (I'm 39 next month) - I'm not particularly vain but that was nice. Better still is stroking my smooth chops with a smug satisfaction at a job well done by good technique and the best tools.
Cheers
Ollie
