Snagged a couple of tubs of Art of Shaving eucalyptus shave cream at Marshal’s today for $8 each. Also got a peppermint for $10. I’m not sure how I will like them, but I couldn’t resist the price.

I saw the Cremo and should have snagged it too, but I was pretty happy with 3 tubs of AOS.

Was the first time for me. Even when they discontinued the old formula of AOS soap and every guy and his brother was finding them at TJ Maxx, they had nothing at my local store. I wasn’t even going to go inside, but made a last minute decision to check it out. I immediately recognized the packaging even though I was unfamiliar with this flavor.
I very much enjoyed the Eucalyptus my wife gifted me. I add Peppermint oil to AOS unscented and imagine it is close to the Peppermint cream. Enjoy them!

I used the shave cream this morning and it was everything that I expected from an AOS product.
Since I’m still working on building a good relationship with my Simpson Chubby 3, I decided to build a nice face lather with it. After dabbing a hazelnut sized amount of product around my face and neck, I started working the well soaked and lightly shaken brush around. It quickly blossomed into a rich and slick lather. The shave went well with a Feather blade on its second shave.
Since I was using the eucalyptus, I felt it was fitting to finish it off with Proraso after shave splash. I’m definitely looking forward to many shaves with this stuff.

Had to drive by the local Marshalls today in Okemos so I stopped to have a look. They had 3 of the peppermint and 1 eucalyptus. Didn't buy any due to already having enough soap to last the rest of my life but I wanted to see what they had.

If you have never tried Art of Shaving, then I would high recommend trying a tub if you have a chance to get it cheap. For $8 you could even throw it away after a few shaves if you don’t like it. Or tell a friend.
I snagged a jar of Peppermint, a jar of Eucalyptus, and a jar of Vetiver and a jar of Bergamot Neroli.
I will be using Peppermint exclusively until Sunday, then branching out to try the other two.

Saw the Peppermint and Eucalyptus at my local Marshalls for $10 ea. Thought about it but didn't buy. Now had they had the Vetiver or Bergamot Neroli I might've pulled the trigger.
Funny, I left the AOS behind and grabbed the Cremo. At one time I thought I'd try every variety of Cremo, but there are a lot of them, aren't there? Edit: I see there are eight varieties.
Marshalls where I live has all sorts of Cremo BUT 6-8$, forget it....I think it's cheaper at the supermarket....and I still don't buy it
I think the AOS is a much better buy than the Cremo at any price.
Maybe, but I like the Cremo for fast shaves when I have to get out early in the morning, and I get it at a big discount, usually for less than $5.
Hello guys. New here, but damn glad to be a part of this forum! For what it’s worth, I snagged an AOS Taos (Mühle) at TJ Maxx just before Christmas for $25. It’s a smooth shaver. I felt somewhat vindicated from my $75 purchase of an R-89 Grande from AOS several years ago. That fat razor is still my daily go to, but I’ve amassed quite a collection of vintage Gillettes since those early days.
Prewar Tech has my full attention at the moment! It’s a dream shave with Silver Blues.
Bergamot Neroli for $9.99 today. Great cream!
My wife bought me a jar of peppermint for Christmas. Would have absolutely loved bergamot neroli - but I guess I'll have to wait until next year.
