Soaps/Creams for christmas

[VintageYouth]

Hi all.

My girlfriend has taken notice of my new found love (wet shaving of coarse). I think its because of her love of my soft face. She likes it much more than 3 days growth. Anyways she wants to get me some soaps and creams for christmas. So I was wondering what every one thought the top 5 I just try were. Thanks!

No guarantee you'll like all of them, but my favourites are: Mitchell's Wool Fat, D.R. Harris, Cella, and Tabac.

col. conk is a good performing cheap soap. i love the smell of the almond, but only use it during the winter holidays. get it, use it this winter, and i am sure you will put it away and save it for just that time of year. i cant smell it and not think of the nutcracker.

You owe it to yourself to try both Mitchell's Wool Fat and Tabac.

Also, Martin de Candre is fantastic and well worth the shipping to the US regardless of what others say!

I think for Christmas it should be somewhat fancy. I think the 3 T's would be a great place to start.

And check their "gifts" section, you can get four or nine small pucks, mix and match, this will be my present to me...well, among other things

Truefitt & Hill sampler set (order off their website)

Castle Forbes - Limes (any flavor really!)
Proraso green with pre-shave
(you can find these easily on amazon for a good price, but a lot of the shave shops that advertise here also have them and a lot of other great products too)

You may be near an Art of Shaving store. You could go in together and check out the selection they have. Their products are a little pricey, but could be a fun gift set idea. They also sell AoS at Sephora, where you could find her some nice gifts too! They have a shaving sampler set this season for $25. Not all the products in the sampler are great, but you do get a coupon in it to redeem for 1 full size product, which basically makes this sampler free. I used my coupon to get a full size Art of Shaving Ocean Kelp Shave Cream.

Mitchell's Wool Fat tends to be very polarizing (love it or hate it), so maybe not the greatest as a gift idea. It would be sad if you got it and ended up not liking it.

For some reason Cella reminds me of Christmas. Great lather, very slick
Proraso Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin, Green Tea and Oatmeal. Especially good on a hot summer day.
TOBS Eton Collage. Great clean scent

QCS Mysore Sandalwood-really a wonderful sandalwood scent. D.R. Harris Almond, D.R. Harris Arlington or Windsor, T&H anything.

 

[dreadpirate]

Soaps; Taboc, Mike's, Vintage Blades brand
Shave Sticks; Speick, La Toja, Lea, Valobra
Creams; Prorazo, Omega

Mike's Lime
Mike's Pine & Cedarwood

+1!

 

[jrward2]

MWF, Tabac, Razorock XXX, Proraso, Speick stick

I think all of the other suggestions are on point, but this would be a lovely Christmas present. Also very nice would be Mitchell's Wool Fat in the ceramic container. Both of them are great soaps (not like the others aren't) but the presentation is top notch as well.

Can't go wrong with MWF, i'd also reccommend C&E Sienna.
