Armand, Anherb is one of the best ever created. Je l'aime aussi!

 

Rene: JoAnnA definitely knows her Menthol stuffs... it's wonderful!

I'm in San Fran next week for a work conference... I'm thinking all TSD stuffs -- soaps, creams and A/S splashes!!! Talk about luxury when traveling!! :1respect

 

+1

The aftershave splash man that is cold a bit too much but perhaps its because I was using it 11pm in the night and the sun was all gone ! I can imagine on a super hot day this will be my 1st choice for an a/s splash but this was asking for trouble menthol on menthol with cold water on the face. anyways I can use it as an anesthetic too when you do the double menthol on menthol thing

 

I'm travelling next week too, and I think it'll be all TSD too... maybe the Proraso splash gets a ticket too
