I'm looking forward to trying them, should be here soon. Was going to try out my new badger brush but I need to work some more on cleaning the smell out. The really strange part is that it almost smells worse after the first shampoo soak. going to try some other methods tomorrow.
Lol. Yeaaaaaaaaa. You just gotta work that out. Never found a fast way for that. The veg will cover it though.
I really like Col. Conk after shaves. The Bay Rum is my favorite with lime second. The soaps are okay, but I get better shaves with Williams and Van der Hagen soaps. They seem to be a little slicker to me. I thought I read somewhere that Van der Hagen actually makes the Col. Conk soaps for the brand. I try to keep some of the Bay rum soap in my den and a back up bottle of the bay rum after shave in there as well. I just love that smell.
Research is key, it can save money and aggravation. There are so many wonderful artisans out there, and many different forums and information sources such as utube and shaving videos that give you a chance to see the lather in action, scent will be subjective of course, but as far as performance goes, asking questions and opinions are highly recommended. Most of the fellow wet shavers will not steer you in the wrong direction.
I'll have to try the Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum. I have not had the chance to yet, but have heard good things.
