I knew a guy they called 'Hawk.' I assumed it was because he probably ate rodents and small birds.What did you expect?! My nickname was "igi-siga" = "Hawk", many years ago and for good reason, i assure you!
Yes, hawks do like to eat them, but the important part is about the attributes that a hawk must have in order to be able to catch these little buggers.
Not everyone is able to catch daily rodents and birds! It requires skill!I thought I'd take advantage of Connaught's sale, so I've taked delivery of tubes of Proraso red and blue, Lea and a tub of Cella bio. I'm going through a phase of trying out some of the classic softwares, having not used any of the above before.
I just came back to wet shaving after a 4 year absence because I was living/working in South America and what I could get in the way of creams, blades, etc was very limited. And having them imported was expensive shippiNg and had to pay a VAT tax.
But I am back in the states now and have restarted my den. These are my Scentsational Six new creams in no particular order of preference:
-Extra Comesi Fra Rinik
-Moon Soaps Amaretto
-Declaration Grooming Massacre of The Innocents
-Grooming Department Maleki
-St James of London Bergamot and Sandalwood
-Dr. Jon's Anne Bonny
All wonderful and glad to be back! Such a joy. What could be better than staring at myself in the mirror for 20 minutes every other day?
So happy to see this! Maybe my AD isn’t so bad!hope you don't mind guys but i thought I'd share my cream and soaps collection

Got a tub of T&H Trafalgar on the way. I've never tried T&H as it is expensive and I'm quite satisfied with TOBS for performance, but I ordered the Trafalgar mainly for the SCENT as I think it is pretty incredible based on a small sample I had.
I'll see if the scent is as good as I remember by using the cream, and if so I guess I'll HAVE to order the cologne which is $75. It's not that I can't afford such items it's just that you have to draw the line somewhere, but that frag is SO unique. I think it's the jasmine note because the other notes (cedar and sandlewood) are great but more common?

Great minds think alike…and so do we 
Wonderful!
This is a new one. Very nice too.
Just received a few Polish creams.
Palm lathered the Lider and the Bond. THe Lider smells pretty bad, and I can't say I liked the lather. BOND is much better, what I would expect from a good cream. Pretty good lather and a subtle smell. All of these were bought at such low prices you probably wouldn't believe me.

I see not too many people post in this thread.
Another Bond variety from Poland. "Retro Style"
Smells pretty good to me, lathers nice. Very cheap. The tube is not dirty. This is by design. I even tried to clean it with alcohol.

Bought a Karo Fresh tube today. Haven't used it for the last 2 years. ~0.90EUR. As cheap as peanuts.
They added lemon juice as an ingredient. I am sure 3 years ago it wasn't there.

What does the Platinum Collection smell like? I want to get a Taylor’s but can’t decide on the scent
I found this soap created some fantastic lather. I’m not sure if it’s because I followed the directions or it’s just great soap.
Not that I just acquired these, but my three favorite shave creams from a performance perspective are:
Castle Forbes 1445
Alexander Simpson Bay Rum
Captain's Choice Bay Rum
(edit) WHOOPS! Sorry...four favorites...Cremo Sandalwood Lathering Shave Cream is in that list at the top of it.
Followed closely by any TOBS shave cream.
