Art, do you like the AOS shaving cream? I do, although I find the scent a bit strong.

Jeff

Yes, unfortunately I do, AOS seems a little more expensive, but the same price as T & H, which I like as well. But I like the scent strong, Taylors isn't as strong, which I don't like.

Art, Taylors creams are really my best friends as far as shaving goes. I like my scents subtle and mild, so this way, they don't clash with my eau de toilette that I wear after. Mind you, AOS sandalwood is nice, but I always found it a little too heavy, even after I rinse my face when I'm finished a shave. Talking about T & H, I have the Grafton shaving cream, and I should use it a little more often. I received a tub as a gift, but it's been a month or so since I last shaved with it. Perhaps tomorrow morning, I'll pull it out of the drawer.

Andrew, how do you like the Floris Sandalwood EDT compared to Santal? I didn't know Floris carried a Sandalwood.

Hi Art. Floris Sandalwood is my favorite Sandalwood. I like it better than Trumpers, AOS or Taylors. The scent is more of a single note than the others and it lasts on my person about 8-9 hours.

Floris Santal has little or no sandalwood. It is a different type of scent altogether. It's a great cologne nontheless. Just ask Richard.

I've tried and LOVE the Santal, next time I'm in Charlottesville, I'll stop by the ShopLondons.com brick and mortar store and try the Sandalwood...I love going into that place! Glad to hear there's one that lasts a long time.

Thanks

Hey Jerry,
How many of those Simpsons did you snatch from the beleaguered CAR?

 

[DoubleE]

Well.....the story of my Simpson's quest is more a reflection of the fact I have no patience than anything else! There were 2 Simpson's brushes I had an interest in, the Polo 8 and Chubby 1, both in best. I originally called CAR to buy a Chubby 1 since there brushes were all 25% off and they were in the US but alas, they were out. They did however, have the Duke series but I withstood the temptation since I didn't know much about them.

I then called Emily and asked if she could get me a Polo 8 in best. She said she would order me one but it would be several weeks before it would be in. Then comes the lack of patience thing. I called CAR back and ordered the Duke 2 as well since, after all, you can never have too many brushes!!

The Polo came in yesterday so I lathered it up, more to wash it than anything else and then gave it a test run this morning. Very nice indeed. More to follow on it.

Art, how do you like Vulfix?

 

[AACJ]

Art, how do you like Vulfix?

Austin, it lathers very well, it doesn't take much. I LOVE the Sandalwood scent too, but I seem to like most of them.

How was that Vicco Tumeric?

 

[Austin]

Art, I haven't tried it yet. I will this weekend. Thanks.
