    Jeremy,

    What does calendula smell like? Is the scent very strong in the TOM's stuff?

    Thanks,

    EW
     
  3. Hiya,

    I finally got around to trying the Irish Moos this morning. Sheeeesh, I blame all you guys for constantly talking about the stuff......heh.. I just got the stick yesterday and tried it this morning. It performed really well, and the scent will hopefully grow on me. Heh, at least I can use this soap, unlike the Tabac. That product smells like dead things to me.....

    I also stopped in and looked around an antique store today, and found a tiny gem amongst the few lackluster DE razors being offered. Yeah, there happened to be a shick injector in one display case, and that one I bought. This is a NIB 'N' type, with the long gold metal/plastic handle. That was worth stopping for. Heh, the only problem is that I'll never use the thing.........it's too perfect. Yeah, I have a couple other razors in that kind of condition, and I just can't bring myself to use em...........heh. The heck is that all about?

    Anyway, both purchases worked out well.

    I have no idea, mi caro amigo, I never even heard of them until today. A friend of mine in Germany bought some, and he insisted I try a couple, so he sent them to me. They both smell very nice, but I have no idea about anything else. By the end of this week, I'll begin with them. :)

    It smells like Florena to me IMO. Honeysuckle is it? OK but I wouldnt buy it again. I have the TOM mint only and sold off the calendula. JB....feel free to chime in on your opinion of it.

    Today was an unexpectedly good haul, courtesy of Bath and Body Works and some excellent sales.

    First, C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream (large tubes), buy one get one. So naturally I got four. :D

    I love the Rose Water Tonic stuff, but at $15 a bottle, it ain't cheap. Until today. At $3.50 each, I picked up 8 for about the cost of two bottles. Also got some Burberry cologne and a great price elsewhere.

    Don't know quite yet Eric. I had to get up to a grocer yesturday afternoon, it was the same grocer where I bought the Kiss My Face some time ago. So, since forum members have advised me that Tom's of Main will no longer make their shave cream I bought up a tube, even though I have a stockpile waiting for me. I will let you know when I get to it, but that may be a while.

    No pics yet cause I'm at work... but here's what came in the mail yesterday:

    Penhaligon's English Fern soap
    Rooney 1/1 in ebony
    Mama Bear's rosewood
    New Alum block

    First shave with the Rooney this morning... Wonderful brush :) Perfect for my face lathering. Handle's not too bad, I was debating the 3/1 due to the handle difference.
