Hey I still have some TOBS just not all of it. Once you try Connaughts cream you will probably give your away too.
Looks good. Kinda like Red Robin. I couldn't stand to have most days missing a meal. I need my 3, if not more. Especially breakfast. A nice big hearty breakfast. If I miss breakfast, my day's shot.
EEEEEEEK!!!! <choking><gasping> Off with his head!!!!!! Let him eat cake!!!!! And all that.... Be sure to send me a sample when it comes in however.
So I've got a PM in w/ Connaught Shaving to see if he ships AS's abroad. He's got some delictible goodies over there.
I certainly think so. I haven't had a cream that has left me this close of a shave and allowed the razor the glide over my skin like this.
Much better than RR. my eating habits suck, probably cutting years off my life. I have only some TOBS avocado, I got from tracy awhile back, and some st james I got in a lot sale. I really liked the Almond but it was a little drying to me.
Dom sent me some Taylors Mr. Taylor and it is darn good stuff. I used it the other day and I really like it. I won't be letting that one go anytime soon.
The Eton College and Avocado are excellent creams. I shaved with the Almond this a.m. Performs fine, but I'm not huge on the almond scent. It's just ok for me.
I was looking more towards his Pitralon selection. I should get samplers from Superlather first of course just to make sure. But if Connaught does ship overseas his prices are better...even shipped.
I've used TOBS Sandalwood and Avocado. Eh. Maybe it was because they were my first ever creams, and I didn't really know what I was doing... I really liked the scent of the Sandalwood, but not so much the Avocado. It was ok, just not...wow, like the Speick today. Until I received some samples from Shawn, I've really been only a soap guy. Still not sold on the whole cream thing...I seem to have really taken to soaps and face lathering....
I used the original once, and that sat till someone posted a WTB and sold that off too, the other two look interesting, but I got a couple hundred ml's of Proraso splash that's it for awhile. I know famous last words...... I like to mix it up, I used soaps for about 3 weeks straight, but now I've been doing a lot of creams. Avocado is an odd scent, smells like laundry detergent to me. I got it because people said it did a good job of moisturizing the skin. it may go bye bye soon. I think I send some trumpers coconut oil cream to you, I like that one a lot.
Speaking of Speick...what is that pungent spice scent in it? It's almost peppery, reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it.... it's not just pure speick flower (or whatever the plant is), is it?
I'm thinking it may go bye bye, too. Cool, does it smell like coconuts? I'm getting into creams a little now that I have some more to try. I lent my Sandalwood to a friend, and got tired of the avocado....I do have some TOM mint - but I think that may have irritated me some...again, that was the very first one and things didn't start out too well for me....
I don't like to limit myself so I have a few soaps and a few creams that work really nicely for me. It took me quite a bit of time and lots of money figuring it out too so now I'm gonna enjoy all of them. Unfortunately the Speick cream didn't do it for me. Love their splash however. TOBS Avocado smells like fresh cut, damp, sweet grass to me. I love it.
What about the simple ones? Have you guys tried CO Bigelow (proraso) or the Omega creams? They provide me w/ excellent shaves and are cheap. Also KMF makes a very nice cream. All these are available locally just about everywhere.
I like Omega a bit more than proraso, though they are similar. I got a tub of SMN which looks very similar to omega by the ingredient list. I havent use it for real yet. I haven't tried the KMF yet, maybe once I get rid of some stuff. I think the Trumpers coconut does smell like sweet coconuts, others say it doesn't (I say they are high) I think I included some SMN cream too, it's a small but densely packed box I sent to you.
Anybody tried the L'Occitane Cade soap? I just figured out there is a store near me and I think I need to go buy some of that Cade AS. Might want to get the soap while I'm at it but would like to hear opinions first.
