You are right!!!!! They didn't realize how lucky they were..

Just came back from London a few weeks ago - in addition to the stores you mentioned, there's another one (name escapes me) on Picadilly at the end of one of the arcades that goes from the street Taylors or Truefitt are on. In addition to selling some of the three T's, when I popped in they also had some Erasmic products, Ingrams and some Coates, as well as a good selection of brushes.

The Trumper on Curazon is the original one and is nicer than their other store.

It was nice to actually go into all of these stores and see their full ranges, although you can find many of their products for less $$ from online vendors in the US.

I bought a few things from the Trumpers store - skin food and sandalwood soap, but managed to control myself - especially since I had a purchased some Culmak, Erasmic, Palmolive, Ingrams and Boots products.

Oh - be sure to go to Boots - yes the drugstore you see on every corner - they sell a very good shaving soap that comes in both stick and bowl format (same forumula) has a nice slightly sweet woody scent and is a steal - especially if they still have them on 3 for 2. The shave stick comes in a plastic tube, which makes it perfect for travel.

Very good stuff - especially for the $$.

If you were to buy a bunch of the Boots stuff on sale, you could likely find a few takers here and over at B&B who would make it worth your while - you could even pre-order!
