The stray whisker

[dougydee]

Curious is anyone has used this store before? http://thestraywhisker.com.au/
They've got some brands I've wanted to try but haven't been stocked by the other local suppliers I've used in the past.

No, never heard of them until now. Interesting range. Not the usual stuff you see, that's for sure.

Placed an order with them in April.

Don't know why, but I got an urge to try a vegatal so,
I ordered a saponifico set (which is yet unopened)
And some caties bubbles samples (which are yet unopened)

I have too many shaving products, I need to shave more often.

Good shipping (free and fast)
Good packaging
They included a Free sample ASB, which was apparently made in .au

My order was #435, so I assume they were relatively new.

Started by Con (ShaveTheMan) it is a GREAT store.

Mine was order number 119 when it opened in December last year.

Great source of artisan products and great service.

Interesting range! I will definitely look at them next time I am ordering some new gear.

Just updated the Wiki here - http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Australia_Shaving_Supplies

Added in The Stray Whisker and deleted a couple of now redundant ones

Hmm, looks interesting, might have to take a look.

Thanks for letting us know

Great store. Owned by Con from Shave the Man.

So I ordered and everything was smooth sailing. A couple new aftershaves to try. I grabbed the alt Innsbruck to get free shipping. Won't be the last time using these guys. Only downside is free shipping at $80 is higher than some others.

I also had a great experience ordering from these guys, very helpful and highly recommended!!!

I recently placed an order with them and was very happy with their prices and the service. While other online retailers have a lower bar for free postage ($20 vs $80) the postage cost was quite reasonable. I can see myself ordering from them again.

Con, the owner of The Stray Whisker, is a great guy. I ordered from this store multiple times. Artisan soaps and splashes. Always had fantastic service. Delivery is fast.

Great to hear that everyone is having great results with them

[MENTION=72212]dougydee[/MENTION] have you tried the Island Breeze A/S yet? If so, what did you think?

 

[rm71]

I find it hard to believe he does not stock Proraso products!

I find it hard to believe he does not stock Proraso products!

Why would he? Not his target market and easily available elsewhere I'd suggest.

[MENTION=17446]Andy[/MENTION] used the iceland breeze this morning for the first time. It's starts off different that's for sure, can't really nail down the scent I get at the start, flowery but not flowery. Then the menthol cooling comes, which is nice. It was a little sticky but dried nicely. The scent fades quite quickly and it left my face feeling nice. I think the iceland breeze is a polarizing scent.

Wonderful, thanks for the info [MENTION=72212]dougydee[/MENTION]

Have been looking at the Master's aftershave, might end up placing an order in a couple of weeks
