I would have been few dollars lighter if not for the sabbatical too!

I have the unscented and love it. Interested in input regarding scented versions. It is awesome stuff!!
That was the one thing that tempted me today - but then I remembered the number of GD (and other soaps) that are still waiting to be used.
I've only used the Cedarwood and Lime. I can smell it a little when I'm applying it, but it's not very strong at all. Definitely does not interfere with soap scents. To the extent I smell it, I mostly get cedar - every once in a while I sense the lime.
Wonder why the PATCHOULI MINT is only 2 oz. - does anybody know?
Oh, no. I hope that's just an error.
That would be my guess. Let us know.Oh, no. I hope that's just an error.
Best pre shave I’ve ever used. If you follow the directions and put a little water on the face after each pass it makes the lather even slicker, unbelievable product!
I’ve been waiting for that re-stock. I ordered the unscented. I can’t wait to try it.
I’m hoping the supply issues have been sorted out, and Grooming Dept. products will be readily available in the future.

Post shave serum is available, too. Anyone have good experiences with that?
My bank account does not thank you, but I do.

The cedarwood and lime interests me and is on my radar to get eventually

A bit of a let down has been Magnolia & Oud - Expecting more scent wise.
Very pleased to reach for when needed:
1. Pekin
2. Tacit
Overall I have not had any scent that I have been really disappointed by. The bases are all excellent especially the new ones.

Mallard Kulfi remains my favorite for scent, performance and post shave feel
Wanted to post up my results here after Gus generously gave me a sample of the cedarwood and lime preshave to try. I used two distinctly different blades: a lord super stainless on it’s 4th shave (i.e. a ‘dull’ blade) and a polsilver si which i consider top notch and sharp. The results were very much in line with what many here have said. The post shave feel is really incredible. Living in new england during the winter, post shave irritation and especially dryness are issues to be tackled on a regular basis. I can say without a doubt my skin looks and feels more hydrated after using this preshave. It’s good enough that i bought 2 tubs of the stuff once it went back on sale. It really is a fantastic product. Also like gus has said previously, it’s not some magic cure all for bad technique. You can still get razor burn using the stuff. But, it does help prevent it and where it truly shines is how your face feels after the shave. For me, it’s now become part of my shaving routine and i was most definitely not a believer in pre-shaves. Thanks again gus for the sample and i’m happy to now have a supply of it on the way!
