·Persol Sunglasses.
I have had Persol sunglasses ever since I saw Don Johnson on Miami Vice 1985-6?.
I was unaware at the time there were cooler people wearing Persol before Don.

·A history of my cars is split between Volvo and Audi, phones were split between Samsung and Motorola (I have had an episode with iPhone but wery quickly i-thing turned out to be unintuitive for me).
I had a number of TYR swimming goggles, Wolfskin outdoor clothes and Sebago shoes.
Those are the items which I have chosen again because I was happy with the item when I bought it for the first time. Not hardcore loyalty to the brands here.
Fragrance is the only area where I am trully devoted to the particular products. I keep looping between Dior's "Fahrenheit", "Homme" and Hermes "Terre d'Hermes". Yea Fahrenheit is oldskool as hell but still is my most favourite 😀

·I've always had the tendency to "try one of every brand" but there are some that break the mold:
1. Vehicles - now a huge fan of the new Genesis brand and it's parent company, Hyundai. Great value for the dollar.
2. Clothing - Crockett & Jones for shoes / boots. I have pairs that are 10+ years old and still going strong (all original)
3. Luggage - Briggs & Riley (sturdy, backed by a lifetime warranty).

Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream
Proraso pre- cream and post balm
Muhle razors
Simpson brushes
Intensely loyal doesn’t even describe how I feel about the above- I have tried everything else under the sun- these are the best of the best

I'm a loyal Allen Edmonds guy, but I really want a pair of Crockett & Jones. I'm waiting for the next time that I'm in London though. Like my first Barbour, I want to go to the source.

AE is a good. C&J and the other English brands are another level. If you are based out of the US, you can try out Peal & Co (made by C&J) at Brooks Brothers - they are getting phased out, so can be had on a good discount (especially the cordovan).

Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream
Proraso pre- cream and post balm

Simpson brushes

DR Harris is my top choice, but I've used and love Taylor, Castle Forbes and Truefitt & Hill. For razors, I'm a vintage Gillette guy with Japanese Feather blades. Rooney brushes. I don't do it often, but I have two vintage straights, one of which is a Wade & Butcher.

We have a Church's boutique in Chicago, but no C&J. I've browsed the website, and offerings are so extensive, I'm really holding out to do a proper shopping experience and fitting at one of the London locations.

It's a great experience. If you head to NYC, they have a C&J there too.

I can’t do a strait razor, would love to but I would slit my own throat. My friends joke that I need the round tipped safety scissors you give children otherwise I will cut myself.
