    Moved thread....

    Bought two things today in order to do a comparison for myself. A Proraso cream and a Geo. F Trumper GFT cream. The Proraso smells wonderful and I will try it when I do tomorrows shave and then try GFT over the weekend. I will let you guys know how I get on.

    Bought from the excellent shop in Leeds, UK called "The Traditional Shaving Company" - the young lady in there was most helpful and the shop is well worth a visit - Grand Arcade, Leeds - no I am not on commission...

    I also bought a nice moustache wax and an after shave balm "West Indian Limes" by Truefitt & Hill which smells absolutely wonderful.

    Right - I tried the Proraso today and it was great. I used my Feather SS Japanese style straight and a new PG-15 blade. A super light but nice fragrance. Smooth and slick and foamed up really easily with a long lasting mousse. For a little over 5 British shekels a tube this is a winner and a keeper. BBS from three passes.

    The soaps were equally recommended/hated but for less than $10 the pair, including postage, it was worth a go.

    The Canadian service set from WW1 is a small reminder of the huge debt we owe our Cousins.

    I love all the pics on this thread. Always makes me envious. But finally I've got something. Yesterday I got home from a long day at work to a dark, empty house. My wife had a meeting to attend. But on the table I found a gift from my sweetie. She said she bought it "just because".

    De Haven is in mint + condition if that's a thing. Blade still sharp.

    Nice score. That looks to have a different blade setup than mine. I am trying mine out tonight.
