What's new

Reporting back from france

Back from about 3 weeks in Paris and the South of France. Like most B&B members some time was set aside to explore the shave seen. Always looking for the new must have scents and a shave soap that will revolutionize the routine. French department stores carry just about the same scents that the big American stores carry - found nothing new except with Hermes. Have not seen it yet in the states but they have come out with a "natural" line of colognes that compliment the "orange" line. Same style bottle. I was not impressed. Oddly enough most of these products are cheaper in the states.

The best men's store I came across was "Old England" they carried a wonderful assortment of colognes and shaving products including the complete line of Penhalign products. Plus some beautiful updated English styled clothes. There is a clothing line called "Hacket" which to my knowledge is not available here that is beautiful.

I have got to say that the products reviewed and talked about on B&B in all price ranges are simply the best in the world. Thankfully I came across this site.

Traditionalism, for me at least, rules the day.
 
When it comes to DE shaving, France is definitly not the place to harvest.

Seems Gilette's marketing corrupted almost every men here, everyone switched to electric or 5 blades cartridges.

Most stuff have to be imported from the uk.
