I just ordered from TGS:
Castle Forbes The Pre-Shave (hope it’s more than snake oil)
Arlington Shaving Soap (the cream is a drug, but I’ll give it to a friend who wants to switch to wetshaving)
GFT Limes Shaving Soap (I want to try a Trumper soap and I have no limes in my den)
Tulip T2 Super Shaving Brush (oh God I hope it’s great)

 

[Scotto]

Beauty.com turned stuff around wicked fast:

T&H Limes cream x2
1805 cologne
Grafton cologne

Lovin' that Grafton!

Hi Joel,

Is that a Vanishing Point Namiki in the shadows?

Cheers,

 

[TomH]

Joel, it looks like you've ordered at manufactum.com???
You've done a good choice, both Floids, Alt Innsbruck and the Swiss Pitralondrool: ), a really, really good choice

Regards
Thomas

Yes sir... I am quite a fan of the Alt Innsbruck... well the scent at least (I haven't tried any of them yet). If I really like 'em, I might import them to the states so guys can buy them stateside.

I haven't tried the Pre de Provence shaving soap. Any comments?

You can buy their bars of soap by the case at discount from TheFrenchyBee.com (strange name, I know) if you like French Milled soap. I live in Miami, but spend months at a time in Europe and get my fix for hard to get EU products (or what an old girlfriend called European Affectation items) at this site when I'm at home. Try the French Mustards.

I don't jump up and down over the scent. It's nice, but not my personal preference. However, the shave...well that is what it is all about. Very slick, and also moisturizing, especially for a soap.

Very nice stuff....personally I rather enjoy the scent of the soap. I actually find it remarkably similar to the Gold Dachs soap - as far as scent, performance, etc. I have only used it 3-4 times, but so far, it is mighty nice stuff. I purchased it new on ebay for about $8 shipped.

Ran by Wild Oats today, and picked up the following:

Tom's of Maine Calendula Shaving Cream
Burt Bee's Lip Balm (in the tin, not the stick)
Bee & Flower Rose bath soap

ORDERED: 18oz bottle of Natureade Aloe 80. It will be interesting to see if they can still provide this stuff!

I have 2 kinds of Pitralon a/shaves, Swiss Pitralon, and Pitralon Classic from Germany. Both are excellent.
