The Fall/Winter 2010 Book For Men, edited by SHARP Magazine For Men, is an authoritative book on style, accessories, automobiles, advice, watches, suits, and everyday trends for the modern man. Its 193 pages are filled with everything a man desires, but it also serves as an essential reference guide. A section called the MANual includes topics such as A Brief Guide to Grooming, The Daily Shaving Checklist, A History of Shaving and How To Shave With a Straight Razor.
The editorial MAINTENANCE features grooming essentials straight from Fendrihan‘s shelves, such as Geo F. Trumper’s Sandalwood Skin Food and Edwin Jagger Triple-Plated DE Razor. Robert Near elucidates about them:
[...] Edwin Jagger’s triple-plated (copper, nickel and blue-white chrome) double-edge razor hearkens back to the motherland. Handmade in Sheffield, England, the razor’s grooved exterior provides an easy grip, even when wet. A heavier razor, it naturally applies the correct amount of pressure to your neck. Finish your shave with a similarly historic English brand, Geo F. Trumper, and its Sandalwood Skin Food. A slick, glycerin-packed liquid that sinks into your skin, moisturizing and firming it, while warding off in-grown hairs.
SHARP lists Fendrihan as the place to stock up on D. R. Harris & Co., Edwin Jagger and Geo F. Trumper.

Coate’s is a British company with a history that dates back to 1847. The high quality of their shaving and grooming products is legendary, and much discussed over the web.
Their shaving creams had not been produced for many years, which prompted many an enthusiast to look for substitutes, try to get a hold of some new old stock, dehydrated as they might be, or hoard them. Their tea tree shaving cream was highly appreciated and considered to be right in line with Geo F Trumper creams, but for a smaller price.
The production of the Coate’s cream re-started this summer with the issue of a limited edition tea tree formulation. Many fans have rushed to get their hands on that old favorite, and are enjoying a Coate’s shave once more.
This paraben-free shaving cream is infused with tea tree oil and rosemary, two particularly beneficial ingredients for oily and problem skin. Its pleasant scent and good lathering properties (produces a quick, lubricating lather) provide a comfortable shave.
Whether you have been missing Coate’s or are just finding out about them, don’t wait any longer and grab yourself a tub; it will give you about 100 great shaves!

James Bronnley is a traditional grooming line dating back to 1884, when soap maker Jimmy Bronnley set out to create the perfect soap. Though not as well known as other English purveyors of toiletries for men, Bronnley bears a Royal Warrant and produces a fine line of traditional shaving supplies.
Mike Sandoval of Shaving 101 characterizes the line’s signature aroma as…
…a classic citrus scent described as a blend of Seville Oranges and Bergamot with a base of herbs, spices, cedar, and oak moss. The fragrance is very consistent among the (…) products in the men’s line and a welcome departure from the usual lime, sandalwood, rose, etc. offerings from other shaving manufacturers. The fragrance of the shaving cream is well balanced and I found it to be very pleasant.
James Bronnley continues to produce fine toiletries using traditional methods, in the heart of the English countryside. Discover its superior quality, derived from natural ingredients sourced from around the world.
