Great shave today...skipped yesterday for the Dove season opener here in CA...

Merkur HD
Nioxin Scalp Therapy
PSO
QED Lime Shave Soap
Trumper Limes Skin Food
Trumper Limes EDT

Where are you in CA? I am always game for a bit of huntin'

 

[boboakalfb]

I live on the Peninsula in the Bay Area. I drove up to Cottonwood which is next to Anderson/Red Bluff to hunt on The Gover Ranch. Good time...shot limit.

Qed Limes Soap all week...This stuff sat in the cabinet for a while, so when I broke it out early in the week and forgot how much I love the stuff I also tried a sample of CF Limes and have to say I'm not very impressed - Decent shave and great scent, but I personally think that QED Limes is leagues above it in regards to lube, lather and overall shave quality....Not to say that CF is a bad cream because I found it allright, but for $30+ dollars compared to the $9.50 for QED Lime, 'allright' doesn't really cut it

However, I think the CF Lavender is a Godsend

I'll post separately about the injector after I use it for a few more days. Right now I am off to NYC to see a show. I am hoping I can stealthily get to a few shavegeek places while I am there....

Ron,

Maybe I missed something somewhere:

Taylors Maroon Range Shaving Cream
Taylors Maroon Range Aftershave Gel
Taylors Maroon Range Cologne

A little more information?

Randy

 

[Austin]

I am not familiar with Taylor's color coding either. Which scent was it?

 

[Coche_y_bondhu]

Hello Ron,

So this is your trivia in the SOTD !

Ok, I'll guess: Shaving Shop? Only "maroon" I see in Taylor's line-up, but it can easily pass for "burgundy". But I digress .

Cheers, y'all

Okay Gentlemen,
It is the only Taylor's with two common names,
Shaving Shop and Maroon Range. Just ask Gordon, he'll tell you...
By the way, I also used the Taylors Maroon Range Deodorant Spray. All of these products have a delightful citrus fragrance. On my recommend to real gentlemen list. So, I recommend it to both of you.
