I would buy again
I would NOT buy again
| Product | Reason |
| Hemp Shave Stick (Marijuana Moisture - Australian made) | Lather disappears within a minute no matter how you use it. |
| Pashana Original Aftershave | Too oily when applying the AS and a bit overpowering |
| Sir Irisch Moos Aftershave | Like Pashana, too oily when applying the AS and a bit overpowering |
| Erasmic Shaving Stick | Lather disappears within a minute no matter how you use it. |
| Monsavon | OK soap but not a great performer |
