    Bay rum- going to shave in a bit. First impressions is this smells a lot different from the bay rum ive used. Something to do with the clove? Pella blades-wanted to see if they were different from the GEM store blades. They certainly look different-the logo and they have a more rough industrial looking finish on the spine.
  3. TSD Bay Rum is just bay rum. I don't add any clove or any of the other various spices so many companies add. Just pure Pimenta Racemosa (Bay Rum) essential oil.

    A swedish Aftershave i never heared from before. I can´t describe it very good,but it smells a little "fruity".A bit of orange mixed with...with...i don´t know. But smells nice.

    ...and the best for last...

    Anherb Aftershave Conditioner. I waited sooooo long for this. Now i have 2 bottles in stock. And all i can say is: WOW!!! What a scent!!! Absolutely wonderful. The skin feel is out of this world. Soothing and calming,with a light Menthol touch. @crackstar is right in everything he told us about this.

    That´s it for now...;)

    Greetings

  10. Just arrived today: HTGM Coconut Bay SS and HTGM/PPF Pit Stick in Cavandish.
  11. Is the Coconut scent more synthetic or almost natural in comparison with other soaps? I´ve tried the Mike´s Coconut and i´m lovin it deeply.

  12. It doesn't strike me a artificial smelling, but it's so light that it's hard to tell. At least at this point (not lathered up yet), I only get hints of it if I'm paying close attention.

  14. actually, that's a common misconception. In fact, penguins have 85 different words to describe the smell of snow. :p
  15. The Aristocrat showed up today:)

  17. Nice haul. Good luck with the MWF. It's a nice soap, but can be very finicky to lather.
