Not much buyer's regret so far...

[Eric_75]

Around January I will reach my 2 year DE shaving anniversary. Aside from a few items that didn't make the cut at my house like The Veg, Aqua Velva Musk, Gent's Gin (ask my lovely GF about those) and the fact I never want a Derby Extra to touch my face again, I am happy to say I really enjoy all the products I have, especially Arko. I'm grateful for all the kindness and encouragement here at B & B and I'm proud to be a regular around these parts.

Thanks again and happy shaves!

Through B&B I have learned I am one of the "Veg chosen," but I agree with your assessment of AV Musk. But I am so cheap frugal that I am going to power through and finish that bottle. Eventually. Maybe.

Congrats, @Arbor Man ! Time flies quickly. Before you know it, it'll be 10 years.

Thanks for the update. Did you drink the Aqua Velva yet?

Congrats on your anniversary! There are many scents my wife dislikes. Tabac is her least favorite, however, I still enjoy it sporadically. Along with the Veg.

I couldn’t stand the Whisky Woods and Epsilon Scottish Spirit which were pretty close to each other. The French AV Musk on the other hand is a good one.

Not ready to try The Veg yet…

As you know by my tastes in coffee, there are very few things in my hobbies that I actually hate. I've accumulated about 60 soaps and creams over the last 25 years and while many will never see the light of day again because I found out what works for me, only 3 of them were truly awful. Two performed well but the scents were terrible for me. The other, from an "artisan" when we only had a few on the Internet in the early days, should have just stuck to making candles or whatever.

No regrets either. All good.

Glad you're here @Arbor Man, and I have to agree, very little buyer's regret for me either. I've certainly bought things that I didn't like or that didn't work out, but most of those were reasonable purchases at the time and I wouldn't have known that I prefer something else if I hadn't tried them.

I've been very fortunate. I made a few mistakes in my early days here.... but really, only two very inexpensive synth brushes. I've been extremely happy with all the stuff I've used.. oh, one soap that didn't agree with my face.... So not bad... three products I never enjoyed.

No buyers remorse here although i do wonder what I was thinking at times as some of the stuff we can accumulate adds up rather fast as I'm sure we can all agree.. I believe every purchas I made weather or not it worked in long run has led me to were I am at now and has taught me the lessons needed in regards to what i like and dislike. Some stuff has stayed (very little) and most has gone on to greener pastures hopefully.

Regrets? I've had a few but then again, too few to mention. At least where shaving gear is the subject...

 

[Four for Luck]

Glad you are here. Time flies.

Cheap enough although if there is a way to sample it first, I would recommend it.
It ain't for me.

I sampled mine at a retail store. When I smelled it I thought I was in the cat section of the pet store next door.

....and you did it your way....

Not sure why this got all the "HaHa" emoticons, it goes great with Squirt!

Eric - We are very fortunate to have you as a regular. Moreso, a regular user of the infamous and world reknowned ARKO.

Good to have you here bud!

That's funny, the spoiler alert. Well played!

We’re glad you’re here! Researching reviews on products on this forum and elsewhere let’s you make an informed decision before buying shave hardware and software. It helps to cut down on purchases we later regret.

Btw, I love Aqua Velva musk. It’s a favorite of mine.

Eric,
You have really made this site better by example.
Thanks,
