    Default In the UK for a bit

    Hi all, just wanted to say I am in London until around the 18th of June. Anyone got any recommendations on shaving related things? I already checked out Bermondsey Market but didn't see much. I'll be sure to make a trip to St. James's and St. Jermyn.

    If you're on the lookout for vintage stuff then the only places to go would be Portabello Road Antiques Market (nearest tube is Notting Hill Gate) on a Saturday but you need to be there EARLY as it is all over bar the shouting by 2.00pm. Then you can get the tube to Islington and visit the antiques stalls in Camden Passage.

    Hope this helps!

    The strange thing with buying in the UK, namely London, is you an buy all the same made in the UK shaving products in North America for substantially less money.

    I day dream about getting a shave at Geo Trumpers, then heading over to Dunhills.

    if you are a pipe smoker, you will be terribly disappointed to visit Dunhill's.
