The good thing about me living in Europe is that it keeps my "shopping around" habits to a bare minimum since it takes a week or two before my shipments arrive. Because of this I more or less "define" what I want to buy and place an order with preferably the same company to try out different products.

Of course the the bad thing about ordering in the US and letting it ship to Europe is that my orders tend to be much larger to avoid double or tripple shipping costs on multiple packages.

I've also noticed there are quite alot UK stores which allow you to order online and have it shipped to Belgium so my AD's will be developing soon.

I just received my new Muhle & Pinsel 23mm silvertip, and a tub of Taylor's Avocado cream. I am very impressed wth the fit and finish of the M&P, it must weigh at least twice as much as my 23mm Shavemac. Here are some pic's of my new beauty.
Cheers, DJ.

Very classy looking brush!

Hey Joe, yes it is a local beauty and barber supply store here in Portland. The soap in the picture has no brand name that I can find, but the lather, oh the lather. I have never used a shaving soap or cream that had this kind of insane lather.
Cheers, DJ.

Wow, I've got to check that out. My g-friend and I have some friends that live in portland, so when we visit I'll have to check it out. Is the actual name "Barber Supply Store?"

Bought a bottle of Booster Aquarius a/s splash from made by the same company who makes JM Fraser shaving cream.

This is a wringer for Pinaud Clubman and only cost me CAD$8 for a 14 oz bottle.

I also bought a tub of their Olive-On, which is a pomade-type product - again, a steal at CAD$9 for an 8 oz tub.

I know some of the other B&B members from Canada use a lot of the Booster products and I can honestly say I've never been as impressed with the quality of a line of men's grooming products as I have with this company's. Nothing fancy, just well-made, high quality products at reasonable prices - the company's been around since 1920 (which in Canadian terms is almost forever!), so they must be donig something right.

If you're ever in downtown Toronto, you should pop into their retail store - again, nothing fancy, just good products at good prices. They sell some of the Merkur razors, Omega, Vulfix and Kent brushes, Booster products and a small selection of the Pinaud range.

Just picked these up:

Musgo Real Shave Cream
Lightfoot's Shave Soap

I have the Booster's Polar Ice and Island Bay Rum Aftershaves and they are truly amazing products for the price. I think I paid $7 Canadian for each.
A picture of them below:

Also received today: some Mama Bear and Honeybee soaps, both are very nice, rich, thick lather and nice scents.
