Keepers: TSD Iced SubZero, wheat cream or soap, or better yet, both. Italian Palmolive Menthol Cream Williams Menthol Cream .... Need to find a source. If not, then replace it with the below item. Kent Menthol Cream, love the cream, but it is expensive. Hmm... I think I'm starting to see a pattern here.
Some of these soaps and creams aren't available anymore but if everything were available, here's what I'd buy again. Soaps: QED Wild Rose QED Patchouli/Tea Tree/Peppermint QED Peppermint QED Rose Geranium QED Lavender QED Fresh Lime Mitchell's Wool Fat Mama Bear Spellbound Woods Mama Bear Tuscan Memories TGQ Autumn Spice TGQ Sandalwood Vanilla TGQ Sandalwood TGQ Savon de Comte Dr. Harris Almond Dr. Harris Arlington Dr. Harris Marlborough Dr. Harris Lavender TSD Lavender Tea Tree TSD Lime Verbana Creams: C&E Sandalwood C&E Sweet Almond Oil Dr. Harris (old formulation)
You know, there were only a few I have used that I wouldn't buy again and those are either sold or PiF'd.. High on my list: - MWF - Arko - Speick - Razo Rock - P.160 Tipo Duro - Tom's of Maine (I am hoarding this stuff like it's gold) - Proraso - VDH Deluxe - Trumpers Almond - TBS Macca Root I won't buy again: - Trumpers Eucris - VDH Glycerin - Kiehl's Lite Flight Kind of like, but won't rebuy when it's gone: - Cella - EJ Sea Buckthorn - Trumpers Almond Cream
I have one of these hanging around, about 1/2 full. It has an amazing (almost overpowering) scent, and when used has the bathroom smelling of roses all day!
Buy again: Arko stick MWF La Toja shave stick Might buy again, but probably won't VDH Wilkinson Sword blue bowl Williams Never Again EJ Sea Buckhorn
Wonder if there is any other use for this stuff? Like patching cracks in the driveway? Or, Stripping paint? Or, using it as some sort of fuel? happy102:happy102
Soaps I'd buy again: Tabac, Morris & Forndran's Sandalwood Soap, TOBS (pick yer scent), Arko because I think it's awesome & so is the price, Lightfoot's Pine Scented SHave Soap, Trumper's Rose Scented (not too shabby, I'd get it again), Natural Selections Pumpkin Scented Soap ( notice the holiday Trend?) Creams: Proraso, Body Shop Maca Root Shave Cream, ANY Arko cream Except... What I wouldn't buy again: Arko Commando Scented Cream (smells like lysol!!!), Arlington, (overpriced version of Williams), ClassicShaving.com brand soaps. Smell like clay & urinal cake! ANYTHING IN A CAN!!!!
