Thread: Art of Shaving Kit

Other than a HIGH price point, there is nothing wrong with their products. One thing though, if you use their pre shave oil you will find it very slimey, making it hard to grip your razor, and that can lead to disaster. Be sure to get it all off your hands before your shave. Good luck and Happy Shaving, John

If you are questionable on new products to get I reccomend the Truefitt and Trumpers sampler packs. I have both and am enjoying going through the different options. Even if you don't like their products or want something cheaper, it will help you figure out the scents and what all you enjoy. There is probably enough in both kits for a couple weeks worth of shaves or so and they are around $10 each.

Is there a Nordstrom's in the same mall...Here's why I ask:

My mall has an AOS and a Nordstrom's - I went in to AOS to sniff the new Ocean Kelp line they just came out with - couldn't decide if I liked it. Nordstrom's carries some AOS products, along with a bunch of others. Along with the standard "tester" bottles of product, they provide empty plastic vials and small plastic tubs, encouraging you to take a sample home. I was able to take a small plastic tub, scoop out enough AOS Ocean Kelp shave cream for one shave, and stick it in my pocket. Tried it that night and decided I didn't like it. Saved me 22 bucks.

Wow great response. That was all very helpful. I think I'm going to order the truefitt sample. Seems like the best course of action at this point. But I will be at the mall tomorrow so I may swing into nordstorms and check out some of the scents for the AOS products. Thanks again everyone this has been extremely helpful!
