Does anyone have any experience with the C&S aftershaves? I read Evbo's (not so) glowing review, and I'm curious as to what others may think. Aside from the really crazy price, how are they in terms of efficacy and whatnot? How well does it soothe and fight razor burn (according to Evbo, the answer is a resounding NO)? Does the scent last? I got confirmation from them that they are all the same aside from scent, and this is the ingredients list:
Alcohol denat. (SD Alcohol 40-B), Aqua (Water),
Parfum (Fragrance), Glycerin, Geraniol, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, Triclosan, Eugenol, Evernia Prunastri Extract, Benzyl benzoate, Citral, Benzyl salicylate, Farnesol, Isoeugenol, Benzyl alcohol
Seems like straightforward stuff, similar to other well regarded splashes. Evernia Prunastri is oakmoss, usually used as ither a scent itself or as a perfume fixative. Most of the other fancy sounding ingredients perform similar functions or are other scent-related things. The only major ingredient I find different from other AS splashes is the triclosan, which is a common antibacterial agent (also found in antibac soaps, Clearasil, and even in Old Spice), so it may be slightly better at germ killing.
Anyway, thoughts, comparisons, teestimonials? I'm placing an order with them today for some cologne and shaving soap, and wondering if the AS would be worth it or not.
