Hard to believe it has been over a month since I have even been on. My Apologies. School and some home items have been keeping us beyond busy. I did however want to say hello and was excited to post on the new Chambers line of products that is now out. Rather thank bore you here I have done a complete review, which I will post a link to here once I complete it. Thankfully I have 5-days off coming up for the holiday and hope to get caught up, as much as I can on the forum.

Needless to say the shave was fantastic, and you may have noticed that I have a new strop routine. I had a conversation with one of the Local Legend of barbering recently and he suggested I tried stropping after each pass for about 10-laps, as he does with his clients. Indeed it did improve the feel of the shave over three passes and kept the edge keener as well.

DSBBS Grail today and the Chambers flavors are going to be a hit.

Thanks Guys, posted review Link. The product in each scent are

Aftershave
Lotion
Hand, Face, Body Soap
Beard Oil and Balm
Mustache Wax
Hair Clay
Hair Pomade
and I am sure something I forgot
 
Good stuff Dave. That's a lot of products for sure. I would be interested in the pomade also. My hair is the longest I have ever had it.
 
Cool labels on the new "Aviator" line.

Are Chambers' soaps tallow? Looks to me like they misspelled "sandalwood", unless "sandlewood" is now an accepted spelling. According to google, it isn't. With the Aviator name, of course you'd go all in!

Nice catch Bruce. They have been having trouble with wrong labels, so it may have got by them from the printer.
