1) Czech and Speake-manicure setimage

 

Having nice, clean looking nails is a must, especially when you are in front of clients day in, day out. This set is the highlight of our Czech & Speake collection – it’s premium, unique and can be easily packed away in a suitcase.

2)  Aesop-Dapper Gentleman

Aesop collaborated with us to design this bestselling exclusive. The kit includes the products every man needs to freshen up tired skin.

3) D R Harris-Arlingon kit

imageD R Harris has been around since 1790. That says it all. When I have time for a proper shave, this is my go-to brand. The products are well made and the Arlington scent is classic and refreshing.

4) Patricks Pomade

Patricks hair product range is truly one-of-a-kind. The packaging design is unique – it features a double lock system so the package doesn’t open while travelling, dimensions inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, and a no-slip rubber grip system – that it’s easy to forget that the pomade contains a hair loss prevention compound.

5) Bigelow-Rose Salve

This is the ultimate skin defense for the UK’s cold temperatures. C.O. Bigelow has been a Manhattan institution for over 100 years. I can always rely on them for quality products, with a rich and old-New York feel.

6) Pankhurst-Silver Fox Shampoo

I’m counting on this product to help me age gracefully. Pankhurst’s award-winning formulations and handsome packaging will take you straight back to the Bentley-designed barber chairs of their Carnaby Street Shop.
