Jerry, just out of idle curiosity, how's the Shave Shop cream? Do you like it?

Jeff:

The Shave Shop cream lather wise is very good. I can whip up a wonderful, rich lather with it. It does a nice job of lubricating as well and I get a good shave with it. I just don't care for the scent much. It sort of has a medicinal smell to it. The after shave gel is very functional as well. I accidentally got it on my lips this morning.....tastes terrible! When I run out, I won't repurchase.

Thanks, Jerry for the info, I appreciate it. For me, a scent is usually important in a cream or a soap, so now I know what to do. Thanks again!

Jeff

 

[Scotto]

Shave Shop smelled like baby powder to me, so I traded it away. Man, the lather was good, though.... I'll stick to some of the other Taylor's scents....

 

[Rik]

Taylor's Shaving Shop scent is one of my favorites. I also enjoy the matching EdT

 

[crackstar]

Rick, Scotto, the 3 Taylors scents I love are almond, avocado, and sandalwood, although I must say Mr Taylors is nice too. The Eton College scent irritated my skin, and I had a breakout especially on my neck.

Oh good grief!! Rik, when you mentioned Taylor's shaving shop, it dawned on me what I'd done! I meant to post Body Shop, not Shave Shop!

Sorry for the confusion! Did I mention I got up at 4:30 this morning?

SMF Brush and Cocobola Custom 6/8 Straight (see my avatar)
T&H Ultimate Shaving Cream (Sample)
AOS A/S Balm

The T&H Ultimate Shaving Cream has a beautiful lavender scent. Not too heavy, but very pleasant. The lather reminded me of Taylor's Avocado as far as consistency and lubrication. This will definitely go on my list of things to buy.

The AOS A/S Balm made it's second appearance. I used it last night after having also used the AOS Pre-Shave Oil. This stuff goes on heavy. Two hours later, it has settled in, and leaves my face feeling moist, with just a "touch" of "greasiness". I'm not sure I like it as well as I thought I would. I've got enough for one more use, but now my thinking is that this is something I would only use if my skin were really dry.

Merkur classic long-handle w/Feather blade
Savile Row 231 super badger
T&H shaving soap
QED lavendar shave stick for touch up
T&H classic ASB
T&H Trafalgar EDT

A+ shave this morning. I always get great results with the T&H soap! It just takes a little more work to get there with the long-handle than with the Vision.

[ouch]

Koeller Magnetic straight
Edwin Jagger
Willi G. #7
Leonardo water
Witch Hazel
Proraso pre & dopo

0-7= 4 very good

This may not be the appropriate forum for this, but I find the scent of the pre/post far stronger than I would prefer, and it does tend to linger a bit longer than some have said. Great moisturizing properties, though. If it were scent free (or just plain lighter) it would be a much more desirable product.
I'm normally not a big fan of glycerin-based soaps, but this Willi G. is growing on me. The #7 is a little weird scentwise, and the sandalwood doesn't compete with the big boys, but it sure does allow for one close shave. Overall, I prefer them to the Classic soaps.

Scotto, seeing your Truefitt and Hill container reminded me there are other shaving creams besides Sandalwood, so I took out a few and asked my wife to choose one for me....

SMF Brush (still loaded)

Hess Forty-Four Str8 (on loan from Lynn Abrams)
Schick Injector to finish off the shave

Art,

You should see someone about getting that mug fixed (the one with shaving cream IN it, not ON it). Seems to have a permanent tilt to it based on all of the pics you have been posting!
