I've seen Tod of Tod's stuff selling a razor. Maybe 6 of 1 has done too.
A brush is a little harder, but if you search on here I'm sure someone has had the same problem before.
I suspect 6 of 1 has also made an ear scoop.

No, removing it would be silly. Assuming of course you are performing it within a normal sort of venue, and not whilst wandering down the street.

Re: Linen or wool.
Usually wool yes, if you are talking the UK. Just find thin wool, that's the important point that lots of people overlook. Plus when you are actually active it is okay to take off your outer layer, the cotehardie etc is for show or keeping warm when cold.

Re: Alchemist Re-enactor Project
If you are still around, the first port of call should be Lawrence Principe's book "The secrets of alchemy", for a general overview. There's no need to read any other book by anyone else, except the early ones by F. Sherwood Taylor and E. J. Holmyard for other background. Most populist modern books ...

Re: To hood or not to hood?
Definitely a hood. With a very small liripipe. That's almost all you see people wearing, apart from sometimes female head wrappings. It doesn't look like hoods were lined at that time either, or at least by the 1320's or so you sometimes see different colours inside the hood than outside, but not ea...

Re: Doublet - linen or wool?
It will be. HOw accurate you want to be then affects exactly how nerdy you can get about the wool you use compared to your status.
Put it this way, I've never heard of any evidence for most doublets not being made of wool. (Unless you are rich enough to afford the alternatives of coruse)

Re: Bill drill commands.
A lot of this sort of thing was copied from 17th century civil war stuff, so the ultimate origin may lie with the sealed knot etc. Exactly what they base their commands on I don't know, but I think there are manuals from the period.

Or you could post directly yourself in the "Societies" sub section. There you can see people asking about groups in their area, and some groups advertising themselves.

Welcome to the forum. I'm going to move your post tommorrow if I remember, because this isn't the right place for it. Re-enactment is an anarchic setup, so precisely what your son can do and attend depends on the group he wants to join. For instance, there are societies of groups which will permit 1...
