Bye, bye, England

A Geo F. Trumper gift bag next to an E-Bar razor and an Executive Shaving Co Medium Jock brush

  • Razor: Ever-Ready Natural Angle (E-Bar)
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
  • Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock
  • Lather: Geo F. Trumper Rose shaving cream
  • Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts Carpathia toner

I went to Geo F. Trumper in Jermyn Street yesterday, next to Floris, Taylor of Old Bond Street, and D.R. Harris, and ended up getting their Rose shaving cream. It really smells delicious.

The shave was a quick very early morning hotel shave before getting to the airport, and I'm looking forward to repeating it when I have more time to enjoy the register scent.

Sounds fun! Hope you enjoyed it. I’m on a plane right now.

Yeah, it was a nice trip! Lots of corporate speak (which still baffles me after one year out of academia), but a few days in London with colleagues works wonders when you're the new guy and need to figure out who's who😅
