Brian, Jerry, have you tried the "Crabtree and Evelyn" products?
ICT
My first brush was from there, but I haven't tried their creams or soaps. Have you had good experiences?
I'm partial to the Taylors of Old Bond Street and Proraso (and in turn not really fond of Turmper's). There's a host of different brands out there and it does take a while to work through a tub...
