This is such a stunning classy shop, so envious I don't have a great shop like that where I live. Great to support local business owners and this man is certainly doing it right!
Great video, I love how Ian's personal touch permeates the offerings, the Merkur upgrade is a terrific idea, and the soaps I would love to try! Thank you for sharing, and all the best Master Ian!
Looks like an excellent shop! I wish we could all go there. It seems like the proprietors previous knowledge of plants maybe worked it’s way into the soap fragrances? Makes me want to try them. Thank you for providing this interesting perspective.
This is superb Kevy, really enjoyed it, what a shop and a great owner too.....loved that Merkur idea with the adjustment change....fantastic. all the best and thanks...Paul.
Thanks for a great video, I wish I was there. Wow, I could spend all day there. Given you have been to Pasture's as well, which has a more extensive selection? Thanks again, I enjoyed.
Thanks again Jeremy. I would say Pasteur's has a greater selection but then again, it is a larger store. Ian's store has more of the traditional wet shaving gear, all of which is great to see, feel, hold, smell...and buy!! Cheers. Kevy :)
New to de shaving and luckily in Dundee on the 7th...been in the area all my life and never knew that shop was there so was glad to see this on your channel.. No doubt a few purchases will be made.... Enjoying your channel... Happy shaving
Good stuff Richard. A visit to The Gentleman's Groom Room is a brilliant way to spend som time in. Make sure you say hi to Ian, the guy that runs the shop. Tell him Kevy said hello. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Just discovered this vid, watching watching your back catalogue, I didn't even know of this shop, its fairly local to me, I'll certainly pop in next time I'm in Dundee. Thanks for the spotlight on this shop👍👍👍👍👍💈
Andrew Mowbray Good stuff Andrew. Ian is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to wet shaving gear. Drop me a line if you're going and if I can make it down, we can have a wee blether 👍
Really neat Shavemac D01 2 Band with the tortoise band! Ian seems to be like a very nice owner with lots of knowledge in wet shaving. Cool video! Thanks for sharing!
zhpottery Thanks, you're welcome. Ian is a top bloke with a vast knowledge of shaving products and gents grooming products too. The Shavemac brushes are just beautiful. Happy Christmas. Kevy 👍
Hi Kevy, This is a great video of "The Gentlemans Groom Room".. I was in the shop earlier the same day and bought a couple of soaps one of them was shown on your video "Traditional shaving soap "Essance of Scotland Scottish Heather" and " TOBS Grapefruit". I was given the exclusive that you were coming in later to shoot a video of the shop from Ian. Ian as you say is a fantastic chap he helps me get into his shop as im in a wheelchair really helpful. Its amazing I found out about The Gentlemans Groom Room, from one of your RUclips videos, I didn't know it was their and I live in Dundee so thanks. We are lucky to have this fantastic shop on our doorstep. Cheers Kevy, Arthur Lamb.
Cheers Arthur. Ian mentioned to me that you were in the shop earlier that day. We are very lucky having a shop like this right on our doorstep. Hopefully I'll catch you one day in there and we can chat shaving. All the best. Kevy :)
Really one of your best videos IMHO, Kevy! I've never been to a place like that here in Massachusetts. Outstanding, that Germania brush looked spectacular!!!
Yes, Ian mentioned you were in there. A wonderful host who will help you out with any questions. I've put the website in the description and at the end of the vid. Cheers. Kevy :)
I am saying again this person is the most decent, educated I have seen , such a nice guy , unbelievable , regards from mexico , great visit kevy, abrazos a su amigo el dueño de la tienda una finisima persona
I say one thing about you Kevy you got flair, music is great the tour is wonderful unfortunately we don’t have shops like that in northern New Jersey USA keep up the show👍🏼😃
Really enjoyed that. If that shop was in my area my wallet would be empty every time I visited it, in saying that I wish there was a decent store in Glasgow city centre that I could go into and buy products from. All the best - Andy
Kevy, that was wet shavers heaven!! That was a great video! Thank you for that. I really enjoyed it. I live in Chicago and there's a place called Q Brothers that is very similar. Yes, I am like a kid in a candy store when I go there or see videos of any place like it. Thanks for the vid!
TJ Mati thanks TJ. I've seen some of the Q brothers videos on here. Looks like an amazing shop. There aren't to many shops like this where you can go in and hold and smell the products. Cheers. Kevy 😀
If you've been checking the comments to the last 4 videos are so, you would see that Kevy's like in a kid in a candy store after the shaves: i.imgur.com/vtl2iLq.jpg
Very Nice Shave Shop - Meticulous Ordered and Displayed all in Good taste. My first Razor was a Mergress from Lee's of N.Y. This really brought me closer to being a DE Shaver of course my Distane of Buying Cartridge Razors really Started it all... Enjoyed this Walk around and look forward to Purchase of Tabula Rasa from Berlin in the future.And as you Scots say- just need a wee bit of money...
No Problem Kevy - Great Vlog ,Well done... I gotta Mortgage something so I can drop some serious coin at the Italian Barber.Ha ,Ha Keep your Stick on the ice...
Great video Kevy, really enjoyed being able to look around The gentleman's Groom Room Ian the proprietor seems a nice chap, I've just ordered a Shavemac brush from him and eagerly await delivery, I haven't had so much chance to see many of your video's recently, just very busy and tired but I will try to set some time aside to catch up. -All the best Mark.
Thanks David. The thing about shops like these is that you can hold the products in your hand and smell the scents to see if they are for you or not. And Ian's product knowledge really is second to none when it comes to wet shaving related products. Cheers. Kevy :)
Absolutely right Kevy. Please pass on my thanks to Ian for taking the time to do that interview. *You two did an epic job!* _Ian killed it in the lightening round at the end of the vlog._ lol +Kevy Shaves
What a great video and great shop Kevy! I have the Sweet Gale soap and Ike it very much. I have bookmarked the website and will be ordering from them. I'm thinking one of the modified Progress razors and a brush!
Good stuff Tim. Thanks for the lovely comment. I'm sure if Ian is leading these he will be delighted at the response to savers the world over seeing his shop. The Digress is a beautiful razor. Cheers. Kevy :)
I wish there was a shop like that in Jersey , but now that I think of it I think there’s an art of shaving in a mall close to me but I haven’t checked it out yet
Very fun video to watch. I will have to buy the Essence of Scotland soap online from Razor Emporium since I live in California. Funny, but I actually watched Nick Shaves take care of his beard with a straight razor right before watching this video. LOL. Cheers, Mark
markmongo44 Cheers Mark. It was great fun filming this vid. Nick's channel is brilliant. I'm sure you'll enjoy The Essence of Scotland soap. All the best. Kevy 😀
Would love a shop like this in Glasgow think I need a trip to Dundee, spent the full day in Glasgow with shops telling me no where sells wet shaving products when I was looking for a new brush, I need to find an excuse to visit
I live in mexico, we don't have such kind of shops here, it is like dreaming one you walk though the door of this wonderful shop, regards to the owner and also to you dear kevy, ( its like going to a candy shop if you are diabetic jeje )
Ian seems like a great guy with a nicely stocked shop. That flat top brush looked like it would be fantastic for face lathering... Did you buy one? Another informative, enjoyable video. Kevy, thanks for your time and energy producing these gems!
Hi Blain. I didn't buy one of the flat top brushes. Ian only took delivery of them that day!! I do have my eye on another badger brush I spotted whilst making the video. It's onmy Christmas list! Lol! Cheers. Kevy :)
Kevy Shaves Though you might have been on the naughty list buying all those products in the past year, Mrs Kevy must be a good yin if she's buying you a new brush 😊 My shaves have been going great and have had a couple of brilliant shaves and even tried the astra sp blade again after having a nightmare the last time and it was fantastic! Can't wait to shave again .....used to hate shaving but now it's a pleasure! Cheers Kevy
Steven Kelly Brilliant Steven. So glad to hear you're getting good shaves. That didn't take you to long then? Mrs. Kevy has a love affair with clothes so a few quid on some shaving gear is nothing! Lol! I hope she never reads this...ha ha!!
No problem Rodney. I hope your live shave went well and apologies I couldn't make it. Hope to catch up in future episodes with you. All the best. Kevy. P.S. How are you enjoying the little honey bee brush?
Hey Kevy. Hope you can make it too. Ian was able to show up. Such a great guy. Had some good talk and a great shave. I'm going to try and do that every Saturday. So feel free to join in. Well, except on Christmas and when I have plans. But I'll be announcing those days. :)
Oh, you asked me about the brush. Fantastic!!!! Love the design and feel of the handle. The knot and shape are very functional. I want The Broc brush he has now. Hahaha. Just saying if your trying to figure out what to get me for Christmas! 😂😂😂😂
@@callumcraig3664 Sir, this is a very nice idea but where I am living at present i.e Bathinda a district in Punjab state of INDIA is a small city and people don't know much about the de shaving and will not spend that much money on the products, other wise this would have been a great business plan, thanks 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
Rajan Sharma Dundee is a very small city , populations only 150,000 . But as far as I’m aware there are only two shops in Scotland the other being Executive shaving in Glasgow both are 1 + hours drive from me . Scotland population around 5 million . I would imagine that most of they’re sales are coming from online
Wicked!!.. Cracking video Kevy.. Shop looks awesome.. Ian seems a great fella.. He has some great products.. As for his own groom room Soaps Malt and Myrtle is an awesome soap.. Looks like I will be going back for more. Thanks for taking the time to make the video 👍 What did you purchase? Anything new.
Hey Ian, if your are reading the comments, I have sent you a mail back in October asking about the Digress and they were out of stock. Are they available now? Thank you!
I don't know if Ian will read all the comments on here. Probably best to contact him through his website if you need to ask him about the Digress - www.thegentlemansgroomroom.com/contact Cheers. Kevy :)
Thank you Kevy! He just answered my latest email and as I asked for it a few months ago, I am on his list and he will update everyone as soon as they are back in stock. At the moment they have no time line for the next batch, just if anyone else is interested. Cheers
Hi Kevy its Oomer. You have a great shop right on your doorstep great video btw. If you haven't already try tabula rassa it's excellent soap. The owner is a top bloke by the looks of it.
Great Video Kevy. I would love a shop near me where you could go in and smell samples etc. Brave guy to start a shop which sells goods that's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.. A couple of sleepless nights I guess starting out. Keep those vids coming Kevy, regards Kev
Thanks Kev. Yes, I suppose any kind of niche store is a gamble but it's been going for 10 years now and hopefully it will be there for many more years to come. Cheers. Kevy :)
RUclips may ban me soon for posting too many comments! I just got a warning as they think I'm spamming to advertise or market some product! How far from the truth can they get?
great video kevy, its good to see a B&M shaving shop, shame I don't have one by me (crappy midlands). May just make the excuse for a holiday up there...........no just to go into the shop ;) ;) lol
Great video Kevy, did Mrs Kevy make you leave your wallet at home? 😌👍 Ian looks a top chap, and you're so lucky to have such a great shop in your home town, with 100s of exciting new products for you to mispronounce. Finally, congratulations to Ian on his decision to move down here to Somerset 😌👏
Chers Dave. The wallet was removed before I left to film this! Ian is a top bloke. He mentioned about moving but sadly (for you) the shop is staying where it is!! Ha ha!!!
What a well appointed shave shoppe!! The jade handled ShaveMac left me slack jawed. What a beautiful design; although I'm unsure about the flat top knot. Ian seems a very passionate proprietor with a genuine expertise on every shaving implement ever made, This was a great video! I enjoyed meeting the legendary Ian you've been mentioning all this time. Thanks mate! This episode is one for posterity. Hopefully see you at Cap's live event. Cheers!
Thanks Alex. The flat top Shavemac brush looks a bit special! I've heard these style of brushes make for fantastic face latherer's. Ian is a very knowledgable chap and really down to earth. He's just as passionate about this way of shaving as the rest of us. Sorry I couldn't make it to the live vid. Hope to see you there soon. All the best. Kevy :)
Nice vide Kevy, Ian seems like a good lad. When he said 'Nick Shaves'... 😂 Surprised that Ian carries the Digress. Could never stand the yellow plastic knob on the Progress.
Nick Shaves?! I know, but to be fair, Nick is much better looking than me, Lol!! Ian's store is the only place in the UK that modifies the Progress into the Digress. Cheers. Kevy :)
Great emporium for shaving requisites!. But, alas!, most of the items for sale are overpriced!. I am speaking of the online prices, not aware if the in emporium prices are a tad lower.
Awesome video, Kevy. One question: Either your accent is milder than Ian's, or you are from different part of Scotland. Sometimes I couldn't understand what Ian was talking, but I can understand you perfectly.
I also have to ask, 4:37 in the video, that Sampson Simpsons brush! What in the world would one be shaving that they would need a brush that big? A bear lol If you know what it's for or if it is just a promotional thing, please let me know, thank!
Mason Williams it is kind of like Pasteur's although that's also a pharmacy too. This shop isn't a pharmacy and only sells Gentleman's grooming products. It's a great shop. Cheers. Kevy 👍

Fantastic shop, and Ian is a gem! I wish we had something like this in Toronto...thanks very much for the tour, Kevy - cheers!
This is such a stunning classy shop, so envious I don't have a great shop like that where I live. Great to support local business owners and this man is certainly doing it right!
instablaster.
Fantastic tour and interview at the end. The beauty of this whole experience is that everyone has to find their own style and what works for them.
Thank You Mr Kevy for your tour!!! I want to buy so much . My eyes light up looking at all the beautiful items. (VLS)
It's a great little shop. Kevy 👍
Great video, I love how Ian's personal touch permeates the offerings, the Merkur upgrade is a terrific idea, and the soaps I would love to try! Thank you for sharing, and all the best Master Ian!

Thanks for a great video, I wish I was there. Wow, I could spend all day there. Given you have been to Pasture's as well, which has a more extensive selection?

WolfRanger2008 Thanks, no problem. We had a great time filming this and Ian is a genuine guy who really knows his stuff. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Excellent tour. I love the prices on some of those brushes. Simpsons are wayyyy more expensive out here in the USA 👍💈
Cheers Ken. Santa might be bringing one of those Simpsons brushes you saw in the video....😉 Happy Christmas. Kevy
Awesome tour Kevy! Ian has a beautiful shop! Thanks for posting this vid. Cheers Robert
Thanks Robert. It really is a great place to visit. Ian is a top bloke :)

absolute pleasure to watch this video shop looks amazing and next time I'm in Dundee will go for a visit and to meet Ian and ask for any advice
Andrew Mowbray Good stuff Andrew. Ian is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to wet shaving gear. Drop me a line if you're going and if I can make it down, we can have a wee blether 👍

Hi Kevy, This is a great video of "The Gentlemans Groom Room".. I was in the shop earlier the same day and bought a couple of soaps one of them was shown on your video "Traditional shaving soap "Essance of Scotland Scottish Heather" and " TOBS Grapefruit". I was given the exclusive that you were coming in later to shoot a video of the shop from Ian. Ian as you say is a fantastic chap he helps me get into his shop as im in a wheelchair really helpful. Its amazing I found out about The Gentlemans Groom Room, from one of your RUclips videos, I didn't know it was their and I live in Dundee so thanks.

Thanks for sharing! I don't know if I'll ever make it across the pond so great to see such a cool place!
Michael Thomas Thanks Michael. You never know, you might make it one day. It's a great place to visit. Cheers. Kevy. 😀
Really one of your best videos IMHO, Kevy! I've never been to a place like that here in Massachusetts. Outstanding, that Germania brush looked spectacular!!!
Cheers Anthony! Kevy 👍
each time I see this great video of these two fantastic persons , I have a great day, how polite and friendly , very very nice
Cheers Robert 👍
Was in the shop last week. Wonderful shop. Stocked full of goodies. Ian was a wonderful host too
Remember you can get his stuff too online
Yes, Ian mentioned you were in there. A wonderful host who will help you out with any questions. I've put the website in the description and at the end of the vid. Cheers. Kevy :)
Ian has a cracking little shop there,wish we had something like that down south.I guess I'll have to make a trip to Dundee in the future.
The Suffolk Shaver it is a great place! There aren't many bricks and mortar shaving stores. Yes, a trip to Dundee sounds good! Kevy 👍
The trip you took after the interview looks even better: i.imgur.com/vtl2iLq.jpg
Does Connaught Shaving have a store in Suffolk or is it just run out of his house or a storage facility?
Shave- a-thon I don't think Connaught is a shop/store. I live a few miles from Stowmarket where it is, to see what I can find.
Or in the states id be a kid in a candy shop
Wow what a great shop.
I am saying again this person is the most decent, educated I have seen , such a nice guy , unbelievable , regards from mexico , great visit kevy, abrazos a su amigo el dueño de la tienda una finisima persona

Great little shop, i wish we had one in Green Bay, WI. the closest one to me is Shave Nation in Chicago.

It reopens on Monday. Give me a shout if you're coming through. If I have time, I'll come down to say hello. Cheers. Kevy 👍

Kevy Shaves Though you might have been on the naughty list buying all those products in the past year, Mrs Kevy must be a good yin if she's buying you a new brush 😊 My shaves have been going great and have had a couple of brilliant shaves and even tried the astra sp blade again after having a nightmare the last time and it was fantastic! Can't wait to shave again .....used to hate shaving but now it's a pleasure! Cheers Kevy
Steven Kelly Brilliant Steven. So glad to hear you're getting good shaves. That didn't take you to long then? Mrs. Kevy has a love affair with clothes so a few quid on some shaving gear is nothing! Lol! I hope she never reads this...ha ha!!
Terrific video, Kevy. What a resource you have in this shop! I may need you to pick me up an item or two for your next trip to the states! :D
OMrRapture Thanks! I'm not sure when my next trip will be but I'd be happy to do that for you. 😀
Whoa! What a nice shop! I would have left there so broke lol
Watching this for the third time, great video. Any plans for a follow up, Kevy?
You never know....👍
2016: Proraso, great stuf!!!
2021: Oh another Wholly Kaw! I got tired!
Fantastic Video!!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to share this. :)
No problem Rodney. I hope your live shave went well and apologies I couldn't make it. Hope to catch up in future episodes with you. All the best. Kevy. P.S. How are you enjoying the little honey bee brush?
Hey Kevy. Hope you can make it too. Ian was able to show up. Such a great guy. Had some good talk and a great shave. I'm going to try and do that every Saturday. So feel free to join in. Well, except on Christmas and when I have plans. But I'll be announcing those days. :)
I'll do my best :)
Oh, you asked me about the brush. Fantastic!!!! Love the design and feel of the handle. The knot and shape are very functional. I want The Broc brush he has now. Hahaha. Just saying if your trying to figure out what to get me for Christmas! 😂😂😂😂
Ha ha! I'll ask Santa to put the Broc on the list but I don't think badgers get along with reindeers!!
What a nice shop everything required for DE shaving is available under one roof, no such shop in INDIA.
Rajan Sharma If there’s a gap in the market then wouldn’t that make you a nice business opportunity in India stocking local and international brands ?
@@callumcraig3664 Sir, this is a very nice idea but where I am living at present i.e Bathinda a district in Punjab state of INDIA is a small city and people don't know much about the de shaving and will not spend that much money on the products, other wise this would have been a great business plan, thanks 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
Rajan Sharma Dundee is a very small city , populations only 150,000 . But as far as I’m aware there are only two shops in Scotland the other being Executive shaving in Glasgow both are 1 + hours drive from me . Scotland population around 5 million . I would imagine that most of they’re sales are coming from online
Wow, what a nice selection. Even German Brandt's which are really exclusive. Amazing! And the guy has a really good taste in RUclipsrs 😂😂😂😂
Ha ha! 😂
Wicked!!.. Cracking video Kevy.. Shop looks awesome.. Ian seems a great fella.. He has some great products.. As for his own groom room Soaps Malt and Myrtle is an awesome soap.. Looks like I will be going back for more.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video 👍
What did you purchase? Anything new.
Take a look at his pocket a few hours after leaving the shop: i.imgur.com/vtl2iLq.jpg
Thanks for the kind words Mike. I didn't purchase anything this time but I did spot a nice badger brush that's on my Christmas list from Mrs. Kevy :)
Ha ha! I'm sure she enjoys cucumber!
What woman wouldn't be turned on by a guy who carries around his astringent in his tuxedo jacket pocket?
Shave- a-thon irresistible!
Hey Ian, if your are reading the comments, I have sent you a mail back in October asking about the Digress and they were out of stock.
Are they available now? Thank you!
I don't know if Ian will read all the comments on here. Probably best to contact him through his website if you need to ask him about the Digress - www.thegentlemansgroomroom.com/contact Cheers. Kevy :)
Thank you Kevy! He just answered my latest email and as I asked for it a few months ago, I am on his list and he will update everyone as soon as they are back in stock.
At the moment they have no time line for the next batch, just if anyone else is interested.
Cheers
Great news!
you people in europe and usa get such good shaving products .... lucky people.....
I am very lucky to have a shop like this in my home city. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Hi Kevy its Oomer.
You have a great shop right on your doorstep great video btw. If you haven't already try tabula rassa it's excellent soap. The owner is a top bloke by the looks of it.
Cheers. I've never tried Tabila Rassa. Ian is a diamond geezer!
Really enjoyed this!
Ronnie Glad to hear that Ronnie! Thanks for watching buddy 😀
Long live the classic!
Awesome vid !!!!!
Thank you!
Great Video Kevy. I would love a shop near me where you could go in and smell samples etc. Brave guy to start a shop which sells goods that's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.. A couple of sleepless nights I guess starting out. Keep those vids coming Kevy, regards Kev
I'd like to see some videos of his post video dates...sort of a Kevy After Dark series starting with this one:
i.imgur.com/vtl2iLq.jpg
Thanks Kev. Yes, I suppose any kind of niche store is a gamble but it's been going for 10 years now and hopefully it will be there for many more years to come. Cheers. Kevy :)
I think youtube would ban that video!! LOl!!
RUclips may ban me soon for posting too many comments! I just got a warning as they think I'm spamming to advertise or market some product! How far from the truth can they get?
Shave- a-thon Really? Ha ha!
great video kevy, its good to see a B&M shaving shop, shame I don't have one by me (crappy midlands). May just make the excuse for a holiday up there...........no just to go into the shop ;) ;) lol
Ha ha! Cheers Karl. All roads lead to Dundee! Kevy :)
Great video Kevy, you are so lucky to have a shop like Ian's so near to you. Kind regards.
Cheers John. Brilliant shop. Kevy 👍
Great video Kevy, did Mrs Kevy make you leave your wallet at home? 😌👍
Ian looks a top chap, and you're so lucky to have such a great shop in your home town, with 100s of exciting new products for you to mispronounce.
Finally, congratulations to Ian on his decision to move down here to Somerset 😌👏
Chers Dave. The wallet was removed before I left to film this! Ian is a top bloke. He mentioned about moving but sadly (for you) the shop is staying where it is!! Ha ha!!!
Love the video.
Marc Bagwell Cheers Marc! 👍
Awesome video Kevy!
Michael Lamberson Thanks Michael . I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. All the best. Kevy 👍
What a well appointed shave shoppe!! The jade handled ShaveMac left me slack jawed. What a beautiful design; although I'm unsure about the flat top knot. Ian seems a very passionate proprietor with a genuine expertise on every shaving implement ever made, This was a great video! I enjoyed meeting the legendary Ian you've been mentioning all this time. Thanks mate! This episode is one for posterity. Hopefully see you at Cap's live event. Cheers!
Thanks Alex. The flat top Shavemac brush looks a bit special! I've heard these style of brushes make for fantastic face latherer's. Ian is a very knowledgable chap and really down to earth. He's just as passionate about this way of shaving as the rest of us. Sorry I couldn't make it to the live vid. Hope to see you there soon. All the best. Kevy :)
Nice vide Kevy, Ian seems like a good lad. When he said 'Nick Shaves'... 😂
Surprised that Ian carries the Digress. Could never stand the yellow plastic knob on the Progress.
Nick Shaves?! I know, but to be fair, Nick is much better looking than me, Lol!! Ian's store is the only place in the UK that modifies the Progress into the Digress. Cheers. Kevy :)
Kevy Shaves But I bet you make a lot of people swoon when you do your "and to my regulars ;)" thing. 🐶
Ha ha!!
Great emporium for shaving requisites!. But, alas!, most of the items for sale are overpriced!. I am speaking of the online prices, not aware if the in emporium prices are a tad lower.
Grrrrreat! Thanks Kevy 😊
Cheers Thomas mate :)
Great
Wow, nice
Thanks Mike. All the best. Kevy :)
Am I the only person that is wondering how good this shop smells?! A great shop, I'll have to take the long trip north to check it out.
It does smell amazing when you walk into the shop. Yes, make the trip, you won't regret it. Cheers. Kevy :)
Awesome video, Kevy. One question: Either your accent is milder than Ian's, or you are from different part of Scotland. Sometimes I couldn't understand what Ian was talking, but I can understand you perfectly.
Ha ha! We're from the same city but Ian has a slightly stronger accent than mine. Maybe I should use subtitles next time!! Cheers. Kevy 😀
I also have to ask, 4:37 in the video, that Sampson Simpsons brush! What in the world would one be shaving that they would need a brush that big? A bear lol If you know what it's for or if it is just a promotional thing, please let me know, thank!
I asked about that brush. It's just for promotion. Kevy 👍
the owner is a very polite person , also wet shaving maybe therefore the love to open a store like this one, again the owner is a very fine person
He is a true gentleman.
WOW...
Lol!
dang, if its anything like pasteurs here in NYC,i'd get lost in that place and I'd never leave :-)
Mason Williams it is kind of like Pasteur's although that's also a pharmacy too. This shop isn't a pharmacy and only sells Gentleman's grooming products. It's a great shop. Cheers. Kevy 👍
