OneAndOneIs2

But for once, that's not a problem, thanks to that visit, many months ago, to that shop that ISN'T in Old Bond Street... I might have far more badger hair and sandalwood soap on my bathroom shelf than most, but it's come with advantages.

Not only do Taylors sell nailfiles that are so good that I gave up on chewing my nails, but they sell an aftershave balm. It's got avocado oil in it, but mostly it smells of the wheatgerm extract it also contains.

The lime skin food from Trumpers I've been using recently smells more "zesty" and soaks into the skin in seconds. But even using it daily, it left me with my old nemesis: Chapped lips caused by exposure to cold air.

So I switched back to Taylors' stuff. It leaves skin feeling a bit greasy for an hour or so, but it might be slightly better at moisturising, I figured.

And suddenly, no more chapped lips. First time in years!

It's almost worth risking being considered the kind of person who would have "luxury herbal aftershave cream for gentlemen" in his bathroom..
