How Suite It Is

[johnniegold]

Which products do you use where you use more than one product of a particular brand?

For instance, one of my fave line-ups:

DR Harris Arlington s/s
DR Harris Arlington a/s
DR Harris Arlington edt

A summertime fave:

Trumper Extract of Limes s/s
Trumper Extract of Limes a/s
Trumper Extract of Limes edt
Trumper Gold Warwick razor

Wedding (or formal affair line-up)

Floris JF s/s
Floris JF a/s
Floris JF edt
(Ran out of the Floris JF bath soap)

How about you?

So far, the only instances for me whereby I am using multiple products from one line are:

Tabac Soap and AS

Nivea Shave Cream and ASB,

but I am sure that this will increase!



Great idea for a thread!

Bob,

I can see how the continuity of a scent is appealing.

However, it doesn’t attract my money. My skin doesn’t need it and in that respect I count myself, lucky.

In the winter time however, cold and dryness need something extra. Certainly I find Floris soaps add some more oil, almond oil soaps will also work and as the winter gets deeper and colder, sometimes a pre shaving oil or an enriched shaving after shave cream will stop my skin cracking. But to be honest, I don’t ever find that the calm English seasons require so much attention.

I can see how some cold dry climates would need a more rigerous routine.

But to be honest, if my skin could not take it, I think I would just shave less frequently.

Love the products you have chosen.

I have been doing the Trumper's limes->limes->limes thing for a few years now (before I discovered DE shaving, this site, and acquisition disorders), and it's a great combo. I am, however, thinking of adding the TOBS Victorian Limes cologne into the mix, 'cos the Trumper's limes cologne unfortunately only lasts a few minutes on me—have you also found this to be the case?

 

[OldSaw]

I like this approach with AoS offerings, but am currently completely out.

My favourtie lineup:

West Indian Lime SC
West Indian Lime ASB
West Indian Lime Cologne

the Trumper's limes cologne unfortunately only lasts a few minutes on me—have you also found this to be the case?

Absolutely. Not alot of staying power.

 

[saltypete]

Pens Endymion SC, ASB & EDT

GFT Sandalwood SC, Skinfood and Astor EDT works really well for me too.

SMN pre
SMN cream
SMN lav or melgrano

SMN pre
SMN cream
SMN lav or melgrano

I was thinking this, but my pre is nearly gone and I really wish I had more of the lavender AS. Besides, it's not quite the same as a single scent line-up.

I have this wierd habit of matching up a particular scent or product line. I kinda take that into consideration when I buy a new soap or cream. So here goes my list:

Harris Arlington SS and splash.
TOBS St. James cream and splash
L'Occitane CADE SS and splash
Nivea lather cream and ASB

The only odd ball one is my MWF, which gets Old Spice Fresh scent. I haven't picked an aftershave that I can seem to pair up with MWF. But I do like showering after an MWF shave and using MWF bath soap bar.
