Austin, does the St-Charles almond smell anything at all like the Taylors almond or Crabtree & Evelyn almond? Just curious

Bill - I love my St. Charles Shave brush. Not too floppy or scritchy. Great size for soap and creams. A real value.

Bill, I am liking this small brush. 20mm, best badger and perfect for soaps. Additionally, the price is right. Sue has reduced them on her website.

Bill:
What's more, if you spend more than $25, you get a shave stick as a freebie:

Jeff, St. Charles almond is not as sweet as C&E or Taylors. It is closer to amaretto. Very nice scent indeed.

*EDIT* Gents, I post my pics before I shave. This little $35 Edwin Jagger brush from C&E is incredible. Broke open the Nomad this morning, took the brush to it and bam...tons of great lather. No question that I threw out more than I used. It may be a small brush, but it does hold water. If you're looking for a cheap brush...this one belongs on your short list!

Hello Austin,

Can you tell us more about the Arran Aromatics vetiver cream? Since my supply of Salter's French Vetiver is limited, I need to explore another vetiver source. How does Arran compare with Salter? And where did you purchase it by chance?

Thanks, Austin!

Cheers,
Richard

[Austin]

Hi Richard. I think Salters is a better shave cream. Arran Vetiver is no longer available. The scent is less earthy than Salters. It is more along the scent of Guerlain Vetiver. It is less lubricating than Salters. I hope this helps.
