Like many people, I began wetshaving with AOS products years ago, off and on. Pre-shave oil, sandalwood cream and sandalwood after shave balm, and a fine badger brush, but still using a cartridge.
When I started truly wetshaving earlier this year with a DE, I was under the impression that the 3 T's creams and balms were miles better than AOS products. One friend even said "If ain't English, I ain't using it." I've since bought a tub of GFT's sandalwood, a tube of Proraso, and samples of all 3 T's. I even gave my 3/4 full tub of AOS sandalwood to my brother.
However, now I'm reading on this board that a lot of people love AOS, even prefer it to the 3 T's. I do find myself missing the scent and lasting-ness of the AOS after shave balm. I currently have GTF sandalwood skin food, and I like it, but the scent doesn't last.
Who am I to believe as to which product reigns supreme?
