A &E make great soaps ~I find them great ~ I have 11 of them, but I find the company abit screwed up on a few key points and wonder if its just my experience
I recently tried 2 of their aftershaves yet I found the aftershaves not good and actually real face burners as well poorly designed bottles that have no proper spout system so just pour out too much.
I would not buy the aftershaves again, as felt were bad value and very average quality at best
My other gripe I have above A & E is that after-sales service is lousy and in fact in one case Peter himself replied to an email but was rudely aggressive and arrogant to a normal question. Seems such a weird way for an owner to behave with a good client and really put me off this brand
In past brought the Howling Fiord too and it had no scent at all..suspect wrongly poured or was old stock sent out..however kept it , as shaves well in lather sense...I complained but never got a reply back
Despite all, these soaps lather well and I get a good shave . However I probably will stop buying this brand again due to my issues mentioned above as well as fact my wife hates his artwork on the tubs.
FYI ~ I`m wet shaving for 10 plus years. I find Phoenix and Beau Spitfire, Paolo Barasso, Castle Forbes, Fitjar, Musgo Real Classic and Executive Shaving Fuar Ach Snog my top 6 favorite shave creams and shave soaps of about 40 odd I have and for pre shave it is simply the Executive Shaving Pre Shave which is outstanding . Razors are a feather AS-DS, Tatara Muramasa , Tatara Nodachi and Tatara Masamune. My favorite 3 of 15 brushes is my Simpson M2 Manchurian, Simpson Chubby 2 in 2 band Silver tip and a cheap, yet great old Boar hair Omega barbers brush . I only use Dorco platinum or feather DE blades. Aftershave favorites are Fitjar gels, Castle Forbes and Geo Trumpers
Interested what others think or have experienced in dealing with A & E
