Whats Your Favourite Number?13/8/11 Recently we extended our range of Czech and Speake's wonderful No 88 fragrance to include not only the cologne but No 88 aftershave, bath soap, travel shaving soap in aluminium tin and refill shaving soaps. Here we spotlight the classic colognes from our store which are known worldwide simply by their number. 
Taylor of Old Bond Street No 74Taylor of Old Bond Street No 74 fragrances take their name from Taylor of Old Bond Street's shop number on Jermyn Street in London. The No 74 collection consists of two fragrances Taylor's No 74 Original Traditional Cologne which has a classic aroma that will leave you feeling refreshed. A floral cologne no 74 original traditional cologne has top notes of orange, bergamot and lemon with a background of lilac, jasmine, rose and sweet musk. The other fragrance in the collection is No 74 Victorian Lime, Taylor's classic refreshing and timeless citrus cologne, with notes of citrus, lime and fuchsia, resting on a woody base. 
Czech and Speake No 88Czech & Speake's No 88 takes its name from the address of the first Czech & Speake showroom on Jermyn Street in London. A complex and sophisticated blend of spicy, floral and citrus notes set against a warm but dry base of vetiver and sandalwood. Eccentric, addictive and very long lasting No 88 is Czech & Speake's signature fragrance. A classic worn and loved by both men and women. 
Floris No 89Introduced in 1951, Floris No 89 takes its name from the number of the Floris shop, 89 Jermyn Street. Orange and bergamot blended with lavender and neroli give No.89 its classical cologne aspect. Warmed with a touch of spicy nutmeg, the floral heart is underscored by the dominant woody accord of sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver in this quintessentially English gentleman's fragrance. Devoted followers of this fragrance include Ian Fleming. At The Gentleman's Groom Room we stock the full range of Floris No 89 
Floris Special No 127Originally created in 1890 for Russia's Grand Duke Orloff and named ‘Orloff Special', Special No 127 was introduced into the Floris range some years after his death having been renamed after the page in the ‘Specials' formula book in which the recipe was recorded. The fragrance has become a favourite with many over the years – both men and women. Devoted followers included Eva Peron. A refreshing citrus blend of bergamot and orange with petitgrain introduce the heart of neroli, lavender and geranium in this floral cologne. Patchouli and musk add depth and character. Refreshing, Original and Unpretentious 
47114711 Original Eau de Cologne was first formulated in 1792 and takes its name from the street number of the building in Glockengasse, Cologne, Germany where this historic fragrance was created, with the instantly recognisable 'Molanus' flacon created by Peter Heinrich Molanus in 1820. Arguably the earliest true ' Cologne ' 4711 is a clean fresh citrus cologne that instantly revives the wearer. What makes 4711 truly unique is it can be combined and actually compliments other fragrances. There have been many cultural references to 4711 over the years which include - Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel 'we' the name of S-4711 is a reference to the eau de cologne, Holly Golightly sprinkles her neck with this cologne in the novella Breakfast At Tiffany's and in The Rocky Horror Picture Show 4711 is tattooed on Frank's upper thigh. 4711 Original Eau de Cologne is a true time honoured classic cologne.

But what lengths will Riley go to save the failing show and protect his family of freaks from the harsh reality of life outside the freak show?

The Italian Job09/06/11 
In the summer of 2008 we added 'The Italian Job' to our existing menu of shaves, since then it has become a favourite shave with many of our customers particularly in the Summer months as this shave provides the client with such a cooling and refreshing sensation. For 'The Italian Job' shave we use the products of Italy's most venerable barber shop shaving brand, Proraso. Established in 1926 in Florence Italy, where the products are still made Proraso has loyally served generations of well-groomed men. Proraso has guarded it's secret formula based on menthol and eucalyptus oil in a way only a small family owned Italian business can, the recipe has been passed down from one generation to the next. Our 60min Italian Job shave is based on the ethos that shaving can be transformed from a daily chore into a therapeutic ritual and is priced at £25.
A hot towel is applied followed by Proraso pre shave/ post shave cream a quality pre shave cream which is massaged into the beard, the pre shave gives a bit of protection and allows the blade to glide over the skin more easily, containing eucalyptus oil, Proraso pre shave will refresh the face and soften the beard. A second hot towel is then used to further prep the skin and soften the beard ,then the world famous Italian Proraso shaving soap containing eucalyptus, menthol, coconut oils and glycerin is applied using the finest quality super/silvertip badger hair shaving brush. The shave is performed with an open razor, next another hot towel, and a re-application of Proraso shaving soap in preparation for the second pass with the open razor. This is followed by a cold compress to close the pores. To finish this shave the face is splashed with Proraso revitalising aftershave splash of the old school variety, containing cooling menthol, toning witch hazel and soothing allantoin or Proraso's non-greasy, alcohol-free formula liquid after shave cream with witch hazel and vitamin E to protect and moisturise. Proraso pre/post shave cream is then massaged thoroughly to the freshly shaved skin to conclude 'The Italian Job'. All the Proraso products used in our Italian Job shave are also available to purchase from our shop. (A gentle exfoliate and cleanser that removes dirt and dead skin cells allowing the razor to get closer and a third pass against the grain may be used) On His Way To The Gentleman's Groom Room?25/5/11  Maybe Dan has heard we are now stocking The Bluebeards Revenge Shaving Products.

'LeisureGuy' On Our Essence Of Scotland Traditional Shaving Soaps8/12/10After trying our Essence of Scotland Sweet Gale And Scottish Heather Traditional Shaving Soaps that he had received from stockist Razor Emporium. Legendary US Wet Shaving Blogger and the author of Gourmet Shaving 'LeisureGuy' posted the following comments. "I used the Essence of Scotland Scottish Heather shaving soap that Razor Emporium sells, and with the Rooney 2 it made a nice and fragrant lather." "The Rooney 3/1 worked up a good lather from the Sweet Gale shaving soap, and I have to say that I like the fragrance." " I’m liking the Scottish shaving soap, so today another go at it, this time with the TOBS artificial badger brush, which did a fine job." "Scottish Heather today—and I find that I prefer Sweet Gale, though both soaps provide excellent lather, today worked up with an Omega artificial badger brush." "I’m really liking the fragrance (and lather) of Sweet Gale: a lovely shaving soap." "As you can tell, I’m really liking Sweet Gale shaving soap, and I think I’ve figured out why: its fragrance includes things (bog myrtle, honey, single-malt Scotch whisky) that one normally doesn’t come across in shaving fragrances, along with some that are more common (mixed spices, cedarwood). In particular, the fragrance of honey and single-malt Scotch have pleasant associations for me. And, since it’s a rainy morning, it seemed a good excuse to have at the Sweet Gale once more." The Gentleman's Groom Room were delighted that 'LeisureGuy' liked our shaving soaps and with Ian working on developing a new soap to add to the range which will be available at the beginning of next year, we will be sure to send a pot to 'LeisureGuy' so he's among the first to try it!
