How's Your Day? Archives

Actually, no. I have a sample of Proraso from Shawn, just haven't gotten to it yet. Bigelow is from Bath & Bodyworks, right? I've have not seen Omega. And the KMF flavors don't intrigue me. I'm not much of a fruit scent person.

 

I have heard good things about the Cade, but haven't tried it personally. MTGrayling has some.

Today was crazy at work, then I come and have to move 8 inches of snow, and it is -20 with windchill. -1 without. That kind of cold hurts. Now I feel like crap. Going to be a short night.

 

The CO Bigelow is the same (or nearly so) as Proraso and yes it's at B&BW. Omega is available in some locales and not others. I had my sister send me some from Portland, OR. It's cheap online too though. I wouldn't get too hung up on the scents of KMF. They are extremely light and hardly noticeable either in the container but especially while lathering. I think they also sell an unscented if you're bound and determined. It really is a nice cream Matt. You should pick up a tube just to test it. They're only like 6 bucks or something.

 

KMF is great cream, with a killer price, I highly recommend giving it a chance. Try the unscented, if you like it, you can put a few drops of your favorite scent in it.

 

I have some, haven't used it yet though, it might have gone in the "storage tub" It smells good, and many people like it. it's just not in the rotation yet.

the Bigelo is rebranded Proraso
Omega, proraso and SMN are all made by the same company. Omega is the cheapest at 7.50 a tube, you can get it from razorandbrush. it's pretty similar to the SMN scent and performance wise(I am basing that on a one time use of SMN with a tiny sample)

Sorry to hear Rodd, that does sound painful

 

Nope. Sent some of the AS to Dr.Mike ala Secret Santa, but never got to smell it. He loves the scent. I've heard good things about the soap. Basic French triple milled - excellent lathering, etc, etc...

 

Rodd, have you gotten, and tried the oriental spice SC yet?

 

They were all gone when I got in from moms.....

Leave Tracy alone or I'm going to tell Queen.


I am feeling not so good tonight eatting late so will be back in a few,.

Yeah rodd, call it an early night. That really blows.

I guess I'm going to have to get some KMF - uncle, UNCLE!!

What's SMN? I don't think I've ever heard of that...

And I'm assuming all these comparisons to Proraso are to the Green, not the (beloved) Red.... I have a sample of the red coming too.

Who knows, you guys may turn me into a cream lover afterall....

 

I have received it, but did not shave with it right away as planned. I will give it a go tomorrow. The scent is not as strong as the original unfortunately, or at least the top layer isn't, more like the Polar Ice as far as scent strength, but I will be able to tell you more tomorrow.

 

Oh, and please, can somebody tell me what that pungent peppery scent is in Speick?

Please? I'm dying to know.....

 

See you fuzzy

Frasers is still a better value than the KMF, I almost bought some, but I didn't cause I could get a gallon of Frasers for only a couple dollars more that the KMF.

I have used the Green and Red, but I haven't used them enough to tell the diff between the 2 except green has more menthol kick. the cooling from the eucalyptus isn't as strong.

Oh SMN is santa maria novella it's a really dense cream

 

Thanks for the blades my friend... I used one of the Israeli's last night in my new improved.. veddy veddy nice.

That is the smell of the Speick plant I beleive... that is what I remember reading.
Fuzzy

 

No problem. I sent the ones I like the best out of everything I have

Really? I swear I've smelled that scent before elsewhere. Maybe in cooking or something....

Also, I thought Speick was a blend....

I want to go up and just make some lather just to smell it again...mmmmmmmm

 

I wasn't thinking navel for the letter N .... but then remembered this was a "family" forum...

 

Jim, some hobbies are better to keep secret

..................until Rolls and Shawn show up to the party

 

Alright, I'm out....lids are getting heavy

see you all tomorrow.
