Friday AM Hot shower Proraso Pre/Post in shower '63 Fatboy w/ Derby Extra blade (Day 4) B&B Finest Ebony HBS Lavender soap Alum Thayer's Lavender W/H Pinaud Clubman Vanilla A/S splash SCS Lavender A/S milk () -- rinsed that off Anherb A/S gel T&H 1805 EdT I had forgotten why I traded away my tub of Taylor's Lavender cream... until this morning. The HBS Lavender soap burned the entire time, and the SCS Lavender milk burned like mad the instant I put it on... ended up having to rinse it off and followed up with the Anherb gel. I think I must have a skin reaction/allergy to Lavender EO. Anyone ever heard of that? It's a shame... I think I'll end up trading/selling my Lavender stash. :mad: The weird thing is... the Thayer's Lavender and MamaBear's Summer A/S (with Lavender and Rose hydrosols) don't affect me that way... maybe a certain strength or concentration of Lavender EO does it?

@Baloosh: Could it be that Thayer's Lavender and MB A/S use fragrance oils and not EOs? Friday: Dovo 5/8 full hollow Kent BK4 Kiss My Face Key Lime alum Spanish Floid L'Occitane Cade ASB
I had the same problem with Taylor's Lavender Cream. The Vulfix Lavender, which I now use....gives no such problem.

Definitely possible.. I didn't even think of that. Don't know if I want to try to risk it with another brand or not... I'm going to give it a couple more tries and we'll see how it goes. I may find a solution, or I may end up trading/selling my Lavender stash!

Jason, DR Harris lavender cream is poison for my skin---I never experienced such a rash and irritation in all the years that I'm shaving. Isn't that odd? AOS lavender cream, on the other hand, works ok for me. Jeff
