Love the Kung Fu Hustle inserts!

Great suggestion!

@John Ruschmeyer , I've used the unscented varieties of Stirling (Naked and Smooth), Mike's Natural Soap, XPEC, and MdC...all with great results. As for aftershave, maybe unscented Thayer's Witch Hazel and unrefined shea butter would work. The shea butter has a very faint "nutty" scent, but it's not noticeable by anyone other than the user. I hope you find something that works for both you and your Bride.

 

Try Kiss My Face creams. they have nice scents, also unscented and seem to be marketed toward women.

 

Sounds like you're a soap guy, but I've got Simpsons Unscented Shave Cream and it has a slight scent. Maybe you can get a sample and see if that works. Good luck.

 

Mark, just beautiful. I love the colors!

 

Neal, that Fatip is one cool looking razor. Have you tried it with an Astra SP and a Feather? I'm curious to know how the shaves compare for you between those two blades.

 

Thank you for sharing this with us. What about straight up citrus scents? They smell fantastic; basically just clean, are fairly mild, and tend to fade rapidly.

 

No but I will put it on my list.

 

Jim, you're inspiring me to get some menthol products into my rotation. Nice set up today! Happy Monday!

 

This. They have a cream for men as well. I have the Aqua, which has a very light scent. It also comes unscented. They don't really lather so much but do give a quite nice shave.

Clint, that's a great SOTD photo. The colors and detail are terrific. I'm glad you got to spend plenty of time with your kids over the holidays. I hope you feel better soon.

 

I enjoy the mint. Unscented is nice too.

 

I've used KMF unscented, and it works great too! It is heroic in my book.

 

Thank you Charlie. It was one of the better holiday seasons I can recall. I made it into the office. Feeling the way I do I really need Doug's complaint department today.

 

Good looking Red Tip.

 

To be honest, I'm not sure at this point. I had been thinking about ordering an unscented soap before this, but the comments from my wife are just mixed enough and the subject just touchy enough that I need to tread lightly.

Just to be clear, I'm not a guy with years worth of soap in every possible scent. If you looked in my vanity drawer, you would find the following:

- VdH Luxury
- Cella
- Williams
- Arko
- Marvy
- Mineral Fusion (actually a body soap that just happens to perform well)
- Nutragena French Milled Soap (another face soap that I sometimes would shave with)

You would also have found a tube of Dove Hydrating Shaving Cream which I sometimes mixed with one of the soaps for a SuperLather.

In retrospect, I may have done myself in with the Mineral Fusion soap. I used it fairly regularly for parts of November and December and my wife did mention the possibility of being bothered by the Bergamot notes. I probably should have taken that as a red flag and immediately binned it.

 

How do you like the RazoRockXXX? I've been debating getting it or a Route 66 soap.

 

I live in a backwoods area with a single tiny grocery store for the county. They stock about half a dozen scents of Kiss My Face creams. If they have it for sale in your local stores than take her with you and have her sniff test them before you take it home.

 

I know I wasn't the one you asked, but I would recommend Route 66 hands down.

 

John, I have a lightly used round of VdH Deluxe (Which has a very light powdery scent) and a Palmolive shave stick (Which also has a very light soap scent, actually smells like every other Palmolive soap ever made). I would happily send them to you to try if you would like. These scents are so light that unless you were within a foot of the lather or smelling the soap directly I doubt you could smell them.
