After being away from the site for a very long time and coming back regularly for the past month, my obsession has come back and I've gone on a bit if a shopping spree. I recently purchased a Muhle r41 and a Merkur 180 which are both really nice. Now I'm currently waiting on a Cadet open comb 3-piece, a cadet TTO open comb, a RazoRock Little Bastone, a RazoRock Mission 3-piece, a FaTip Piccolo, a new Alum block and a couple soaps and creams and blades. I should be set for a while. A couple weeks anyway.

Post your impressions of the two soaps when you can. One thing about Proraso: making good lather with it is easy!
I will do that. I have a feeling Im gonna love the red one. But the Green one is probably great too. I will be able to participate in menthol-mondays =P
Custom HMW brush. Ikon Shavecraft 101 Lady Gillette Gem flying wing shave set Gillette slim adjustable Apollo shave set And a few other things lol Oh 400 Polsilvers (Thanks Veli)
The scent is great and it makes piles and piles of fluffy lather. But for me at least it's more fluffy and less dense/creamy, and that's not my preference. But I'm in the minority, most seem to love it. I've got Mike's barbershop and a sample of vetiver on the way, also a puck of MWF and a Muhle black fibre brush.
I find tallow soaps are better... The ones I tried anyways. If I don't have good results from this and my incoming PdP and TSD Lanolin I will be giving up on veggie soaps for good.
Is TSD a veggie soap? I mean, obviously the lanolin isn't, at least. Try Tiki Bar before you give up on them, though. I have both their tallow and vegan formulas, and while both are great I think I prefer the vegan.
