In past times, the discerning gentleman was always immaculately groomed. The Duke of Wellington took a well stocked dressing case with him on every campaign, and always shaved before battle. We are not suggesting anything quite so drastic, but our shaving requisites and toiletries will ensure that you are ready for anything!

We are pleased to present our two ranges of toiletries for gentlemen, both with a distinct personality. "Mr Jackson's" is a traditional gentlemen's fragrance, warm and masculine, with a hint of leather and touch of aromatic smoke. "Arcadia" has more of a unisex scent, suggestive of fresh green woodland, with an outdoor, sporty feel.

We offer a comprehensive collection of shaving brushes, all made to the highest standards, with three different types of filling:

  • Best Badger - Best badger is an excellent quality hair for those wet shavers who prefer a rather coarser sensation during lathering. An ideal gift for luxurious shaving.
  • Super Badger - Super Badger is chosen by many for its soft and luxurious feel, yet effective lathering performance. The perfect brush for committed wet shavers.
  • Bristle - Pure hog bristle for those who prefer a stiffer quality to the shave. An economical way to initially experience wet shaving.

A selection of the finest shaving implements, from traditional to modern. If you prefer to shave the old-fashioned way, choose between the genuine cut-throat razor or a safety razor with traditional double edged blades. For something more contemporary, try one of the most popular blades currently on the market, the Gillette® Mach3®. All our razors are made from high quality materials, by skilled craftsmen, and are designed to last for a lifetime's shaving.
