I really like my EJ razor and soaps so when I saw a 25% store wide sale thought I'd try both the EJ Sandalwood and Aloe Vera aftershaves. First I tried the AV and it had a terrible scent. Couldn't quite place it until I read the ingredients. The first ingredient listed after water is Soy oil (though it had a fancy scientific name). Immediately I realized "of course that horrible scent is the smell of rancid cooking oil." I tried it another two or three times, being sure to shake it so everything was mixed up. I got the same results. The experience was repeated with the Sandalwood AS. The place I bought it was great and gave me a full refund. The products weren't dated so I suppose maybe they had been sitting around a long time or just a bad batch. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
