Tat2Ralfy, if you like menthol and plenty of it..you'll like the Aqua Velva. It is one of my favorites and here in the US very inexpensive. Shave On.

Thanked: 6 SOTD nr1 2/11-09
My very first SOTD. And most likely not my last
Since this is my 7th shave total with a straight.
Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8 presharpened from SRD
Strop: SRD 3" black latigo strop
Brush: Edwin Jagger Boar Brush
Soap: Edwin Jagger Aloe soap
Cream: Palmolive shaving cream
Lather: Superlather ala Mantic59
Prep: Hot shower with Shampoo and Conditioner plus a Hot towel with lather underneath to finish it all of nicely.
AS: Nivea Moisturising Balm
Result: Smooth/BBS almost everywhere except my chin but I guess it´s my lack of skill ´combined with my coarse beard hairs that doesn't allow me to get BBS there.

With great difficulty if you live in England, I'm afraid. The following European shops have it Anciens fauteuils de coiffeur / Antique barber chairs - Page d'accueil / Homepage and Barbershop Classics The Shaving Shop There are also some US based Ebayers who will ship to the UK.

Or you get creative and find a trusted SRP member that lives in the US that would ship it to you, or better yet, that would trade buying/shipping favors with you ;-). This way you would both save a lot in shipping, etc. This is the way I would do it if I were in your situation. Aqua Velva sure has its fans...
Al raz.
