    That looks like a solid list, though I haven't yet had the pleasure of trying Wars or Balea.

    +

    I'll add (for the sake of completion to my list):

    JM Frasers
    Olivia Cream (which I am now learning I prefer the "beef" version)
    Erasmic Lather
    Ingram Lather
    Tom's of Maine Peppermint Oil

    Wars has a spicy woodsy scent. I think Jeff can better describe it. I really like it. Balea is more along the lines of Palmolive and Nivea, it's also very nice. I have one tube only for the Balea so I will use it very, very slowly. I would really like to find a connection to get Wars but no luck so far.

    So can anyone describe their experience with the Vulfix Lavender and Sandalwood??

    Indeed, Wars is really nice stuff, and quite dirt cheap (though not as cheap as J.M. Fraser), at CAD$1.69 for a 65 gram tube!


    Raf, send me your coordinates and I'll have some more of it winging your way.

    On the Vulfix Lavendar...

    • Bluish purple color, but lathers up white (though I keep my "white" bristle away from it from paranoia).
    • Medium density cream (thicker than Salter's)
    • Lathers easily with good volume
    • Applies in a nice, thick, opaque layer with good cushion
    • Only Lavendar that I own, so nothing to compare to for scent. Smells minty without too much floral.
    • Contains glycerin & aloe vera, but also parabens

    Hmmm...I've been using mostly soaps, so my cream inventory is a little short.

    My faves so far have been Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna and Nomad.

    Shame on the Boy Scouts for deceiving us like that. I should have joined the Girl Scouts instead. :D

    Boy Scout Camp was directly across the lake from Girl Scout Camp. Oh, the plans we had to sneak over there. :D

    Back on topic now, my favourites are:

    Proraso Green
    Proraso Red
    JM Fraser
    Body Shop
    Floris

    Proraso green is probably the first among equals.

    Jo-Ann/Queen of Blades if you're serious regarding Frasers PM me with details as I'm venturing downtown Toronto on Friday and could pick up a tub of Frasers for you gratis.
