Shaving brush
 
Does anyone know where I can get a decent shaving brush in Accy? My current one is almost on it's way out. I got it from Wilko's about 3 years ago for the princely sum of 49p, so it was money well spent. However, when I looked in there on saturday I could not see any & I certainly don't want to pay thirty or forty quid for one, which seems to be the price down here.

I don't use shaving foam or gel as this type of lubrication is fit only for the gay community and I have never used an electric razor, which again is fit only for those undergoing trans-gender reassignment - so don't bother with these suggestions. However, if you can point me in the right direction I'll buy you a pint (or half a mild if you're a young lady).

Cheers.

You won't get real badger for three quid.

Get into Trumper's when you get back to London you tight wad.

You could try an old fashioned pharmacists, if there are any left where you are in Accy. They might have some dusty pre-war stock, priced up in pounds, shilling and pence for you.;)

Last time I was up St James St, Thrumper's brushes started at thirty-five quid for the smallest; I think most of that was payment for the fake ivory and gold handle and Thrumper's label.

I don't want 'owt fancy - just something that does the job.

So be serious. And yes, I have tried Bootes - last night, and I saw nowt - other than the fact they seem well stocked up in Brut aftershave, which is flying off the shelves once again. I think I've got a bit left from last time round.

How about Superdrug?

Re: Shaving brush
 
I bought one I use for stencilling I bought for next to nothing from that place in the Arcade.

The stock changes all the time so they may not have them now.

I'd do a tour of the pound shops, one of them is bound to have a cheap shaving brush.

Now, now....that may be the sort of thing people get up to in Ossy but most of us can think of better things to do in life than inserting shaving tackle up bodily orifices.

I think I might have a genuine badger brush knocking about somewhere, (calm down Rindy you know the type I mean).

If I can find it, it's yours T', I'll try to sort it for next time your up.:D

I'd forgotten all about those things. My father's used to live in a dish next to the kitchen sink when we lived in Holland Street. (No bathroom then!)

It will need a bit of work T' but I've just been out to get you some fresh bristles, (see entwisi, a fiesta can cause almost as much carnage as that thing you keep bragging about!)

Re: Shaving brush
 
I've asked someone in the 'gay community', and they say you could fashion a shaving brush using the hair lost from your pate, held togeter by a kirby grip. This shouldn't require the use of any fancy nancy lubrication.

Re: Shaving brush
 
Just been to Accy market and noticed that there is a stall in the Market Hall, stall number 62 I think it's called B&D's and it's near the sewing tackle stall. They are selling shaving brushes for the princely sum of £2.99.
Hope this helps.:D

Tealeaf 05-10-2006 13:07

Re: Shaving brush
 
Whoopee! Thank you Lettie - there's a pint of cider paid on for you (or there will be in two weeks time)

How come, however, that in a simple request such as this, I have been subjected to an awesome verbal assault, ranging from a suggestion that a hairy object should be stuck up my rectum to a visual representation of me as an Accrington Bin Laden? Why?

Erm, so, if I can find this brush, do you still want it?

I only ask, 'cos if you plan to surprise me with it, I'd rather leave it where it is.
Thanks.:confused:

I don't need this, If I've interrupted and missed something tough, call it a page change, otherwise don't let it be something minor that I've jumped into the middle of inadvertently.:mad:

Stop the madness.

Willow sugested these things earlier, but she was unnoticed. The credit then went to others instead.

Them there smileys are supposed to be indicating that I was having a laugh about it Less. I really don't get cobs on unless it is something earth shatteringly serious and even then I tend to write epic posts rather than not.

It was just me having a laugh at the fact that I'd mentioned tryng Superdrug quite early on in the thread and then a lot later Mani said why not try Superdrug.

I'd also made a joke following a comment about you offering a free shaving brush with every Festa sold and said something like how about a free Fiesta with every shaving brush? And then when you said something similar it made me laugh becuse I'd already commented on my Superdrug post having got lost in cyberland.:D

See how easily the written word can be misunderstood in comparison to the spoken word - unless of course it's spoken by a friend of mine who sounds a bit like Vicky Pollard on speed you can imagine it can be quite difficult to follow at times. :D

Rooney Shaving Brush - Finest
Style 1 Large Finest Badger Hair Shaving Brush in Faux Ivory

Price: £255.00 (£217.02 net)

Are they joking? £255.00 for a shaving brush theyre out of their minds!
Who'd pay that for something they use maybe twice more than likely once a day. Just like that moisturiser at £600 an ounce!

WillowTheWhisp 06-10-2006 08:12

Re: Shaving brush
 
Yes and it's even FAUX ivory! They are so proud of their plastic. No elephants were harmed in the making of this brush - only badgers! There's a dilemma for the wild life activists! :D

Re: Shaving brush
 
Just to get closure on the story, I was back in Wilkinson's last saturday and picked up a new brush for 34p! What a bargain....15p cheaper than the last one I bought there three years ago. Looks like the Chinese are bunging up productivity in their shaving brush factories. I can confirm though, that it is not real ivory.
