    Default London

    I'm off to London today with my daughter (no, we didn't get an invite to the wedding!) - as I live in Dublin good shaving supplies can be hard to come by. As I'll be in the land of Geo. Trumper and Taylor of Old Bond St - any other recommendations to pick up or puruse. Floris good?

    Thanks

    Sonds like a wonderful trip!
    Yes, London, to me, is the Mecca of wet-shaving!
    You have all the fine stores within walking distance.
    Trumpers, Penhaligons, TOBS, Truefitt&Hill, Floris and DR Harris. All great shops, with fantastic products

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    +1. It might be a little crowded. That would be a fun trip. Stock up on all the good stuff. I had received some Floris as samples and thought it was quite nice.

    Well - I didn't make it to all places, there are only so many stores a 14 year old will patiently wait in..I also was limited on liquids as I only had hand luggage...
    But came back with two tubes of TOBS cream on special (£2.50 each), alum block, styptic and a TOBS medium pure badger brush. I'm over again in June so will stock up..
    A quick tip however is that Fortnum & Mason stock (from what I recall) Penhaligons, TOBS, Truefitt&Hill, Floris and DR Harris as well as some other interesting colognes, plus Kent brushes...so if you are pushed for time you can hit TOBS and hop across to F&M to pick up anything else you might need.
