QCS Lime vs. Esquire

[rokat31]

Fellow shavers, I am in quite of a quandary. I recently purchased a sampler of QCS shave creams (or croaps, whatev) and cannot decide on whether to purchase the Key Lime scent or the Esquire scent from QCS. THey both smell awesome, but I PROMISED myself I would only buy one citrus smelling scent now that my current shaving creams are running out and these are neck and neck. Thoughts, feelings, opinions would be greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, Esquire is not a citrus scented soap. Therefore, you are clear to buy them both!

+1.

Plus, if it's still available, you should be looking at the Iced Key Lime instead. Great stuff.

Esquire is a great soap as is the Key Lime. Esquire is key lime plus sandalwood, which makes for a nice combo.

Of the 2 I've only sampled the Esquire and really liked it.

I enjoy lime scents as well. So I'm not sure what to say? If you can't decide between the 2 and get both. Maybe a coin flip would work best.

I have not used QCS Esquire, but I do have the Fougere which to me is a great fragrance that is complex meaning that it is layered with different fragrance oils that is some what of a cologne type scent. The Lime is really a Key Lime fragrance that is very natural, and not candy like when you smell it. I have Mike's and it is a great shave soap, but the Lime fragrance is just like a lime Lifesaver candy. If you like a menthol kick sensation than the Iced Key Lime is the road you will want to travel especially with summer temps already showing up. Consider throwing in at least 2 bars of the Vostok bathing soap and you will thank me come mid July and August.

Their Esquire is excellent, in my mind, superior to their Fougere or GIT.
I haven't tried their Key Lime yet.
However, their Vostok remains the top of their heap of the ones I've tried.
