    My kit so far. The aftershave is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. After watching several videos and talking to my friend who's a professional barber, he recommended a pre-shave oil or gell, so that's what you see pictured. I shaved with the oil, soap, badger brush, but used my Goldfinger Gillette Safety (I'm not quite ready for cut throat razor)and love the addition of the oil, I did have some trouble getting a good lather from the Trumper''s soap, but I may not have soaked the new badger brush long enough. Anyone else try the products yet?

    I’ve shaved with a brush for years and have discovered that some soaps do not produce a good lather, which is why I usually use cream with my brush rather than soap. It’s possible that the thick lather you see in the film was created with some help from a separate cream.

    Picked up the Trumper's bowl, now I just need the straight razor to complete the kit that was actually seen on screen.SF_bowl_and_brush.jpg

    It's great when companies really embrace their connection to Bond like this.

    Is that the complete kit with all the correct items?

    This kit understandably consists of items just made by Taylor's whereas the one production put together was a mix of Taylor's items with pieces from other brands.

    It's so inaccurate and expensive that you have to laugh :)) But they did get two things out of six right... almost.

    Hi folks,

    Would someone be able to confirm (or not) that this is the shaving brush?

    https://www.trumpers.com/product_detail.cfm?product=111547900

    My guess is that it is (albeit updated logo on handle); I’m wondering before I pull the trigger...

    Hope one of our experts can pipe in :007)

    Many thanks,

    Taylors and Trumpers no longer stock the correctly shaped brush. I’ve been into both shops and discussed this at length with the Managers. Just like most things, styles and trends change from year to year and season to season. The trend now is for a more barrel shaped or angular brush. All of the gentleman’s toiletry suppliers in the St James/Jermyn St area use the same supplier for their razors and brush models and have their own logo printed on them. I have been in touch with that supplier and they supported the information that Trumpers and Taylors gave me. They no longer make that shape of brush.

    The screen used brush shape is known in the trade as ‘Persian Jar’. GaryD’ the shape of your brush is very similar, but the screen used one lacks the top and bottom ridge detailing and is smooth top to bottom.

    I’ll post some pics up of the correct one. WaltherP99’s post shows it quite well.

    For those who have the bowl - how hard is it to get the logo off?

    Outstanding Asp’ :007)

    Making the razor screen accurate. I'll follow this up with instructions using the actual products they used. It's permanent and effective, so sourcing a 100% black buffalo razor isn't an issue if you do this.

    Looks great Asp! Are we sure the razor was dyed all black or could it have just been the lighting? The photos on JB Lifestyle from the Omega shop still have the hues from the buffalo horn

    There are trends for shaving brush handles and brush shapes??

    As if it couldn’t get any sadder and more pathetic, Asp9mm is wasting everybody‘s time to get deep into those kind of details 8-)
