I spy, with my little eye…

…a shaving brush in the wild – at Europris no less. While TGR is, in my opinion, the fun kind of dollar store, Europris is more of a.. how to put.. Norwegian version of the American chain Big Lots.

Quality brush they claim.. so much quality they couldn’t even get the print centred. Even so, this along with the set spotted at TGR earlier this week, makes me wonder if affordable traditional wetshaving for the masses are coming to Norway – or it might just be a blip on the radar.

Spotted while out and about

Flying Tiger Copenhagen, formerly known as TGR, is an odd shop… imagine if a knick-knack store merged with a dollar store (or a pound store, or a 10kr store, or whatever your local equivalent is). Craft supplies, toys, kitchen gear… and today, this:

Granted, the finish on the wood ain’t great, the knot is probably a shedding Chinese boar, the cup is just plastic and the head on the razor is thin castmetal… but for 80 NOK (9.50 US $ / 7.50 £ / 9.00 €) I am quite tempted to pick it up just for fun.
