Considering you're in Tasmania as well? You can't get P Johnson.

Guys, I used my Fox Umbrella in the rain tonight, for real! It was pretty gusty here in Sydney - the umbrella remained strong. There was a couple of times where I thought I was going to be lifted off the ground. I was really surprised that I didn't get wet. These British umbrellas actually work! Most umbrellas keep 75-80% of you dry, but this one was 95-100%.

Perth aka The most isolated capital city on the planet. (Actually true.)

To the best of my knowledge no-one here actually sells the 1880 collection.

So far the itinerary includes:

• Vanda
• Ed Et Al
• Kevin Seah Bespoke

 

Foodwise, I'm sticking to the local stuff - chicken rice, bak kut teh, oyster omelette, carrot cake, briyani rice, etc.

Back from KL yesterday, and yes, partly CNY celebration, but mostly Father in law's 70th.

As for SG, how about Malmaison at Knightsbridge Mall? In addition to watches, I believe they stock Charvet shirts and Rubi jackets and ties. Or Iris Tailor? Lastly, IIRC, there's a Church's at Ion Mall.

Food wise, the food court at Ion Mall is pretty darn excellent as well, and Tiong Bahru market houses a great hawker centre.

Malmaison is a fun visit, they stock some really nice things. IIRC, it is also the only store outside Switzerland that has a exhibition/display of Rolexes that are not for sale (if you read that sentence a few times, I promise it will make sense).

Good list, Gezza. Though if you're looking to commission some work, my preference is Iris Tailor over Kevin Seah.

I would avoid Kevin Seah. Overpriced, inconsistent with deadlines (always overpromises) and honestly - no magic.

Here are 2 other chaps worth visiting, if you have time:

J Myers Company - leather goods like wallets, iPad cases, bags, briefcases etc.

Hughes Handcrafted - also leather goods, like card cases, iDevice cases, and bespoke watch straps (been toying with the idea of a strap with just one notch).

For another walkabout, you can head to the "Shoppes" at Marina Bay Sands. Lots of luxe brands, if that catches your heart.

Thanks for that, Nabil. It was more to visit that to commission anything. These days, I find I'm not really into the whole luxe brand thing but it is probably worth a look 

Shaving soap reccommendations?

Anyone know what the middle model is called? (I find the RMW site maddening)
