Hello fellow shavers,
Well after months and I do mean MONTHS, in fact close to a year now
, I finally got my older brother to use some of the fine creams available to us instead of canned shaving gel/cream. The truth is I was able to show him the wonders of Nancy Boy (Blossomwood scent for those that care) and he really did enjoy it. I had personally prepared some lather of CF, AoS, TH, GFT, TOBS etc and nada, nothing, bupkis he either did not feel it was worth the price or did not feel any real improvement. He finally tried NB about 8 weeks ago and he began to use it. In fact he confessed that the real problems with the other creams was the need of a brush. Well I stayed over at his house and I brought my RR XXX in which I suggested he try that one. I loaded the brush and HE LOVED IT! He thought it was a FANTASTIC shave the best he's had so far and considering the price and ease of use (honestly I have no problems making mounds of lather with CF, AoS, TH etc) it was his opinion that RR was well worth the slight extra effort on his part for a comfortable shave. Fact of the matter is he loved it so much he stole my damn RR XXX...that "insert string of expletives here".
Now here is the question, his birthday is coming up soon enough and I need some advice on the other RazoRock scents that he may enjoy. I will slowly re-introduce him to some of the previous creams again to see if he enjoys them more but for now I must admit for the price you cannot go wrong with RR. I already have some Tabac soap on the way (HE LOVES TABAC scent but has never tried their soap, instead he uses their cologne, deo and aftershave lotion) so no need to mention that one to me. I would like some suggestions on some "masculine" scents that would appease his olfactory center
. I am thinking of getting him some more XXX but am unsure of the others. He does not like sweet scents (there goes the classic marzipan scent). Furthermore he also enjoyed my 1805, Grafton/Mr. Taylor, Blossomwood, Jeremyn Street, St James, Eucris (not my cup of tea). Any thoughts gents?
Cheers

. Also 7 O Menthol I wanted the Don Marco for myself...creamsicle....how could I not like that scent mmmmm I might just lick my own face. What I shall do is get a few of the RR and he can decide which scent he prefers. I am just happy that he actually finally enjoys these creams better then what he normally used which left is face red and irritated. He also noted that his hair took longer to come back which I explained was the fact that he gets a closer shave. So another one enters the fold my friends 
.
