    I Just returned from a trip to London. No buy July was doomed from the start for me. I swear I planned this trip well before I knew about it. It was quite a thrill to see all of the T's and the proprietors of those historic shops. I didn't really buy that much, honestly most of it can be purchased online for about the same amount of money. There was a great sale on TOBS creams so had to indulge on those. I also got a straight razor at Trumper's. The barber put it to stone and put a fantastic edge on it. I'm not sure why I expected it to be a sandpaper-like edge, but it was perfect. Below are some of my pics. Got a few strange stares from a lot of people as I snapped these (especially the guy in the Trumper's shop, and my wife/kids). These shops are all within a few square blocks of each other-shaving haven.

    I got several as gifts-Jermyn St, Lime, Coconut. They were on sale-4 for 15 pounds-usually 28! I got Avocado for myself. I love their Avocado
    and ran out of it a few weeks ago.

    Very very very protective. Great if you have irritation. Some people think it's a strange scent, but I like it. It smells nothing
    like Avocado. I'm not sure how to describe the scent.
