I picked up two more tubs of C&E Sweet Almond Oil. I have no idea why since I already have a year's supply of it; at least the SWMBO doesn't complain (seeing as how I don't complain about her soap-buying addiction that takes up the other half of that shelf in the 'fridge!). But S.A.O. cream is lonely by itself, so I had to pick up some of their Sandalwood ASB as well.
 
Just got some creams from a trade with Keith

Olivia creams in the following scents:

Bay Rum
Oak Moss
Churchill
Amber

I'll be shaving tomorrow with the Amber :drool: That is, if I don't eat it all first. It looks and smells out of the jar kinda like chocolate moose.

wow, are you sure you aren't celebrating something?

NICE HAUL!
I’m quite new to the wet shaving thing – I started in June. I don’t post much because I feel I’m not experienced enough to offer insightful opinions. However, I really want to try a whole lot of products. Once I’ll be knowledgeable about creams and other stuff, I’ll post a metric megaton of reviews so I can contribute as much as I learned from all of you guys. And judging is comparing, so I first need to compare.
 
Wow. Lucking forward to the reviews. That is very decent of you. I don't necessarily have adequate experience to give anyone advice, but go around posting left and right anyway....
 
Just received tubes of Trumper Violet and Rose cream and a tub of Lavender T&H cream from Sesto-Senso. This adds to yesterdays Taylor Sandalwood for my excursion from hard soaps. Initial comment - the stick-on label on the Taylor was crooked and looked bad for a premium product (memories of 1970s British motocycle engineering!). I managed to peel the label off and reseat it and it looks a bit better but still not high end. The T&H package looks like a high end product with embossed lettering on the lid. The Taylors was also rather a messy job to open with a plastic disk crunched into the cream that pulled up a big gob of cream when I removed it. I spent a few minutes with a knife repacking the tub. T&H was superior here too with some celarance between the disk and the cream. The Trumper tubes both look high end well finished. I like the sandalwood scent, that's an easy 9 for Taylor and it gives decent lather and shave. Will report my views on the others after a few days of trials.
 
That little plastic thingie is there so the cream doesn't get all over the top of the container during shipping. This is a big help in a runny cream. I agree with you on the T&H tubs - really classy.
