I really like it. It is right up there with the Proraso Blue cream for me! I used my La Toja Stick today!Quote:
How do you like that La Toja? I find it to be as good of a value as Proraso.]
FYI-Joe at Italian Barber still has the big 150ml tube of La Toja on sale for $6.99!

I used the Italian Citrus today for the first time and all I can say is WOW. The scent is amazing and it feels great on my face. This one is a keeper for me especially as a summer aftershave. I'll be trying the Fresh Vetiver tomorrow. It smells great as well and if it feels as good on my face I will be very happy. Two thumbs up and thanks Lynn for stocking these at SRP.
I just received my sample of American Blend. Unfortunately, this is also a great scent. I will be ordering a full bottle along with some more Maggard soaps.

I don't have the platinum yet but I do have the lavender plus the American blend and I'am very happy with them. They leave your face feeling like the alt Innsbruck AS. In the tropics that's good. I hope they keep for the future make the lavender back again.
thanks

The American Blend is ordered.
I tried the RazoRock “The Freedberg” soap today. It is scented to match Fine Platinum/Creed Aventus and is a limited edition. The scent is terrific. I swirled my brush 20 times and had more than enough great thick, cushioning lather for a 3-pass shave. I hope Joe will consider keeping this one permanently.
“ I will tell you that they are the most costly soaps we've ever produced because of the scents we chose. They both are formulated with our new and highly sought after tallow soap base. Production is limited for the sake of RAZOROCK’s bank account. For those that are interested, we also have a limited quantity of matching aftershave splashes. Get’em while you can!

Wow! I ordered the American Blend Saturday from Bullgoose and had it in my P.O. Box this morning, Monday!
It lives up to its reputation. Another great scent from Todd at Fine Accouterments!

Today was my first use of the Fine American Blend after shaving.
This one is a keeper. My face feels great and I smell pretty darned good too!
I was testing a new soap sample for WSP and got a smooth, close, nick free shave.
Both the Platinum and American Blend will stay in my rotation.

Platinum-Creed Aventus
Fresh Vetiver-Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver
American Blend-YSL's Rive Gauche

I received a bottle of Fine American Blend today and think I've found a new favorite. This stuff feels great and smells even better. My wife noticed it when she came through the door and gave me a kiss, and then later at the in-laws when I greeted my sister in-law she said "Wow! You smell good!". Yes. This is a keeper.
I'm giving this thread a bump.
I used the American Blend this morning. I'm not sure if I like the scent as well as some of the other Fine offerings but I have to say all of the scents I have tried have a really nice menthol cool off. Right now I am using samples but will probably order a bottle at some point. The Clean Vetiver is my favorite scent so far.
