    Hi, I've been reading this board for a while to get information about brushes, creams, etc. My first cream just arrived today and it looked strange to me. Is this normal, or does it look like someone already used some of this?

    Thank you for the opinions. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it sure looks strange to me.

    Looks new, just got warmed up in the mailbox, and the cream shifted.

    Castle Forbes, right?

    Yes Castle Forbes (cedarwood) and it certainly was hot today. I'm satisfied - thanks!

    Edited to add:

    JoAnna I also ordered 2 creams from you -- looking forward to them!

    Sneaky editing. ;)

    Which scents did you decide on?

    TSD Wheat (since my thread reading said it was like/similar to Proraso Red that so many people seemed enamored of) in Vetiver & Coffee.

    Coffee :drool

    Vetiver, huh? I hope you'll like it. Most folks don't. It is straight Vetiver essential oil. Most Vetiver scents on the market are vetiver blended with other scents.

    Ya never know what you like till you try it. If it's not to my liking I'm sure the coffee will ... sorry got distracted by the idea of coffee

    Hello there jpolz! How about heading over to the newbies section and introduce yourself? You'll get a warm welcome from some of the guys and gals that visit this fine forum.

    Oh-oh! You ordered JoAnna's Wheat Cream? Hmmm.. I've read several people on this forum like it! ;)

    True. :)

    Plus, you could always blend it with a Lemon or some other scent shaving cream, if you don't like it straight.

    The coffee is definitely. :drool Just don't taste it. :D

    Oh I remember when Eric first grabbed a hold of the Vetiver:D

    I will say that I do not like vetiver as an AS. SS or SC it is great. I still have a sample of QED vetiver soap(thanks Dr. Mike) and still use it and enjoy it. But I wouldnt want to smell like it all day.

    That's the conclusion I came to, also. After the AS, I got a shave stick of TSD Vetiver in a package deal with olafurson and I like it much much better as a soap.

    JoAnna, you'd be surprised that a few people here thought I'd be banned for saying I didn't like that AS. :rolleyes: :D :happy102
