The eshave avocaod & linden I picked up....smells and performs awfully similar to Provence Sante. At the price I paid I'm happy w/the purchase, but if I'd paid regular price ($18) for a $10 puck of PS, I would've been upset. Overall pretty good stuff.

Hi All, Well, I can cross one more off this list. I finally ordered a few of Gio's soaps recently, and will hopefully get them early next week. Man....I've been meaning to try his soaps for soooo long. What a relief.........heh. Never seems to end, which I like. Martin
Recently traded for a puck of Roger & Gallet shaving soap. It's definitely odiferous, but not in a bad way, and it performs very well. My face seems really moisturized afterwards, the scent blends well w/my Caswell Massey Sandalwood balm and my favorite AS splash (German Pitralon). Overall, pretty good stuff IMO.
Sighhhhh, Didn't get em yet...I'm guessing tomorrow or Friday will be it. I think the weather has slowed things up in general this week. His soaps get a lot of positive comments from many people, so I'm not worried about the performance. Nice to have the shaving forums to draw information from. Oh.......I ordered some of JoAnna's soaps also. More lime (two tubs this time), but a few others in sample size that I've been meaning to get around to. The ones that have me really curious is the 'ginger' and also 'mayan gold'. Man.......it never does end. Martin
Great thread! My list is pretty conservative: • Tabac • TSD • Speick • Olivia Soaps • Penhaligons • T&H • Trumpers • Taylors - Cross that bad boy off the list! Got me some Sandalwood and St. James...the scent is amazing on St. James! • Mitchells/Kent Cheers!
I’m a bit fatigued from trying new soaps & creams; so many disappointments, so few delightful surprises. However, if Yardley (and Yardley Black Label) shaving soap was readily available at a resaonable price, I’d be up for that!
Right now I'd just like to try any L'Occitane or Penhaligons (mainly Opus 1870, though I guess that's just in a cream version? I'm not too interested in English Fern)
Jeff told me great things about De Vergulde Hand soap, and he wants me to try a TSD soap as well. Hey, as long as he springs, I'm all for it! :happy102 :happy102 Nahhhhhh, I'm only kidding! Armand
Yes indeed especially on the rocks with a nice splash of Coke...wait we're talking 'bout shaving here aren't we? SCS Bay Rum with a Twist comes to mind, as does Mama Bear's Spicy Lime, as does a nice tumbler of Havana Club Rum on the rocks with a generous splash of Coke with a nice wedge of lime....uh wait we're still talking 'bout shaving here aren't we?
ecoute-moi bien mon petit, la prochaine fois c'est TOI qui va me faire un cadeau! , sinon tu seras ::ban
