As it happens, I had a very modest Lotto win that enabled me to buy these and two D.R. Harris soaps/bowls which have
not arrived yet. Otherwise I couldn't have afforded them.

Glad to see you put your winnings to good use it is nice to treat yourself though, I usually get myself a small present each time I am away for work, though I don't really need anything else at the moment. I would like to try a heavier blade but I dont want to invest a great deal in trying it so I will keep my eyes open for a cheap one, and then take up a friends kind offer to hone it for me. I am only equiped for light blade refreshing.
Back to soap/cream have you tried the musgo products? I got some orange amber cream, the latherability is really quite good, but I found the scent a bit plasticy.

Funny you mention Musgo, I have some of these bowls on the way from China and want to fill them with these. I've never tried either before.
Any favourable reports ?

tabac is really good, needs a fair bit more water than other soaps i think which is probably a good thing. i used it in an old fashioned scuttle that was my grandfathers and the smell went stale and disgusting, especially using it with a newish boar brush i gagged so much i was nearly sick. keep it in an air tight container!!!

I tried tabac aftershave, i thought it smelled like old men and barbershops.

Barbershops I can deal with, great atmos. But old men ?

The Barbershop I went to today used Wahl Shave Cream. Smells like coconuts.

Were you tempted to eat some? I like coconut esp in curries. Though don't think I would like massala shaving cream.

I went past a barbers/ men's grooming emporium in freo the other day, it was down near the red cross shop on a corner and uphill from the red cross, it was also near spare parts puppet theatre, they had a load of proraso stuff, I was in a hurry so I didn't have time to see what else they had to offer.

I like the smell of coconuts, I like the liquid out of coconuts. I don't like anything else to do with coconuts including curry. I do like Wahl Shave Cream though. It is some of the easiest and most cushiony (it's a word now if it wasn't before) cream I have ever had the pleasure of lathering with. It's relatively cheap and lasts a decent while.
