So I found a post in another neighborhood from 2016 or 2018 (?) Stating Fendrihan shaving cream was just relabeled Knightbridge creams.

I'm in the market for one of their soaps, which is sold out. Curious of I can grab KB instead and it'll be the same, or if they've changed formulas since that post (presuming it was right to begin with).

Anyone have any idea? Thanks folks!

..a new twist. One of the soaps smells very close to a bay type scent, on the drydown, but it's not Bay. Now I'm questioning if they gave me a sample batch with the wrong caps. Argh!

Luckily, as long as it's only 2 of them, I should be able to tell the difference. The Bay Rum is bright white, the Bergamot is a tan/cream colored soap. However, now I need to email Fendrihan.

This could only happen to me. Lol!

Breathe in, breathe out... Big Grin   If they're just samples why don't you order another set of them?  Odds of them screwing up more than once is small(er).  Unless they screwed up a whole batch and you get another one from the same batch.

I could do that, it's not a bad idea... Especially if they work well and I end up liking many of the scents. Still, by time I get to my evening shave, they'll probably have already checked. They're so visually different it'll be easy enough for them to look and tell me which is tan and which is bone white.

We'll see how it goes. Lol. Thanks!

It's not a site I regularly order from but yes you can see the Fendrihan creams are the same scent lineup. Fendrihan creams are made in England and I would guess possibly made by Taylor of Old Bond Street and the Knightsbridge site is listed as Canadian and there is nothing really personalized about so maybe the creams come from them as well.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Since fendrihan is out of the Bay Rum scent until at least May, and Knightsbridge doesn't have it in either, I grab a new tub of Knightsbridge from Murphy and McNeil. No waiting, free shipping... Win. [Image: giphy.gif?cid=349c9dd7y0ub7qkdbpazuxxd9u...=giphy.gif]

Did we ever get confirmation on this?

And IF they are the same then my follow up question is how do they perform?
