Themes...

[SA_bmatth]

Like Tabac soap+splash+cologne? Or maybe a cream+ASB+EdT combo from one of the Ts? I've seen a few interesting combinations in the SoTD recently so...what's your favorite?

And since I asked....

Sandalwood--QED soap w/ C&E cream, C&E ASB, Floris EdT

 

[Lynchmeister]

Speick cream - Aqua Velva - Versace Green Jeans EdC was a good combination that I stumbled on accidentally.

 

[SA_bmatth]

Have you tried the Speick aftershave and cologne?

 

[Baloosh]

HBS Almond soap (or DR Harris Almond cream), Pinaud Clubman Vanilla A/S splash, John Varvatos cologne

or maybe it's just me....

Subconsciously, I did an "islands" theme today... Trumper Coconut SC and Sand Cologne (made in the Bahamas). Wish I was there right now.

 

[SA_bmatth]

This one?

 

[Limey]

I like the brand combo of:

Proraso Pre/Post
Proraso Soap
Proraso AS or ASB

or the Limey scent combo of:

QED Lime
Citrocol Lime AS
Em's Lime ASB "soother"
Royall Lime Cologne

 

[RichGem]

This one?

That's the one. I love that stuff. (altho I do filter out the sand as it clogs the atomizer)

Edit: more accurately, I decant the cologne into another spray bottle and leave the sand behind.

 

[SA_bmatth]

Sand in the bottle? Have you tried the ASB? I don't know how soothing an aftershave with sand could be though.

Sand in the bottle? Have you tried the ASB? I don't know how soothing an aftershave with sand could be though.

I haven't tried the ASB, but I'm hoping it doesn't have actual sand in it. Otherwise, it might be a facial scrub. lol. ASB wasn't part of my daily routine last time I was in the Bahamas, but I may pick some up next time (it's all a fair bit cheaper there altho I don't remember the exact price).

EDIT: In general, I try to keep my ASB as neutral as possible so that I don't have to plan my cologne around it. Of late, that has meant T&H Ultimate Comfort, but I have a few others (nivea, qed, em's) in the wings waiting to be tried.

I, too, have tried the "proraso" theme...how could one not?
Proraso PRE/post
Proraso SC (red or green)
Proraso pre/POST
Proraso ASB

I have also used:
River Soap Company Mountain laurel bath soap (smells like bay rum)
Burt's Bees Bay Rum SS (with KMF unscented and glycerin to help the lather)
pinaud Bay Rum ASB

I really want to get my hands on some T&H Trafalgar Edt...I love the smell of the SC so much and would love the smell to follow me throughout the day.

Have you tried the Speick aftershave and cologne?

I have not tried the aftershave, but I do have the cologne. The cologne is similar to the scent of the cream, but not as close of a match as I would have hoped. I'm absolutely nuts about the scent of the cream, so the cologne was a bit of a disappointment for me, but I still like it.

I call the Proraso combo the "Italian Job"

Proraso Pre/Post
Proraso Green creme
Proraso ASB

Two of my favorite combos are Mama Bear's Smokin' and Pinaud Clubman aftershave, and Mama Bear's Dragon's Blood and the Pinaud Clubman.
