Best Sandalwood Aftershave?

[OkieStubble]

Got to check out a whiff of T&H Sandlewood yesterday and while it smelled good, I couldn't help notice how much it reminded me of Calvin Klein's 'Escape'.

I like it but it may not be for "sandalwood purists" as someone used the phrase above.

Harris reminds me of the smell of a telephone pole on a hot summer day---like it has a creosote note to it. Still, I like it.

Someone sent me some Honey Bee Garden's Sandalwood (google it for a vendor) - it is the Austrailian type of Sandalwood - sweeter than the middle eastern type. I love it and use it regularly in my rotation.

Thanks for the input...just curious, does anyone else have this problem; now that I've switched to DE shaving I've already purchased way more aftershaves (and soaps) than I will probably ever use. Nevertheless, I still want more

I'm not sure if the remedy is to stop buying though, or simply shave more often? Quite a dilemma...

muhle/edwin jagger's sandalwood balm is quite nice.

PrimeCipher,

At last count I have enough blades (DE & SE) to last me 14 years of continuous safety shaving, which is most amusing as I usually shave with a straight !

I think these blades will see me out !

I also have enough soaps and creams for 5 years

Have fun !

Creosote is an interesting description. I always went with anise. Happily, that particular part of the scent is all up top on me and fades quickly.

TOBS is the best!! In my humble opinion.

I was surprised to see all the raves here for the TOBS Sandalwood. I tried their Sandalwood shaving cream and had to return it. To me it smelled like insect repellent. The company said it's their #1 selling aftershave scent so I figured the shaving cream must smell the same. Are they by any chance different scents?

Proraso Red aftershave any good? Heard it’s got the Sandalwood notes to it.

Proraso red smells fantastic. Works well too however I find it leaves my face a little sticky.

I won't be much help. I find AOS Sandalwood intoxicating. I love it so much I sometimes will dab a little on the backside of my hand before bed so that I can smell it as I fall asleep.

Weirdo

I've been using Geo Trumper Sandlewood Skin Food for a while and am quite happy with it

Love TOBS Sandalwood soap and cologne. AoS is good as well.
