The Hardest Job In The World?

There can’t be many jobs that are harder or more dangerous than being responsible for clearing the roads and tracks of Helmand Province in Afghanistan of IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) but that is exactly what Brimstone 12, a team of British Royal Engineers, do for a living.

So when we received an email from Spr “Stu” Hanley asking if we had anything that could give them a decent shave whilst serving in Camp Bastion we were more than happy to help. We sent this four man team a Traditional Shaving Company Pure Badger shaving brush and a tub of Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream each so that they could have a proper wet shave, the way a British Soldier should!

After a long running field Op they were finally able to give their new products a try and we were delighted to hear that it was the best shaving cream they had ever used.
