Has anyone tried the art of shaving products? Which products did you use and how did you like them?
I have an AOS TI which I got as a gift. A good razor, shame about the AOS etching!
I have AOS Lavender cream also. This is good stuff, but there are certainly better creams out there,TOBS, CF, Prorasso and Olivias to name a few.
I also have a small travel brush from the AOS which I believe is pure badger.
All in all they are good products, or at least the ones I have tried. I rarely use the lavender cream there days though. What were you thinking of getting?
I have tried the AOS Aftershaves balm and gel. I much prefer the gel. It is lighter, absorbs quickly and does a great job. I prefer the Unscented version, but the lavender and sandalwood smell very nice.
I tried the Sandalwood cologne and it smells nice. It is potent so a little went a long way on me. When I eventually run out of Sandalwood Edts, I would consider buying it again, although I prefer Diptyque Tam Dao's Sandalwood over AOS.
Overall, AOS has quality products which just tend to be a bit overpriced, in my opinion. That being said, they are a good value if you can catch them on sale.
How does the gel fair when it comes to giving a good face-covering all day long? Does it give you an itchy sort of feeling when it's worn-off during the day/evening?Quote:

I agree. Their balm is way too greasy and heavy. Also, it leaves a certain 'glow' to your face, giving you the "I've just moisturised!" look.Quote:

The logical progession would have been to use AOS then TOBS.
If you like TOBS I think you will be disappointed with AOS products. I tried AOS then TOBS and TOBS creams are superior by quite a bit in terms of latherability and cushion. I have TOBS soap which is decent, but have not tried AOS soap.
AOS aftershaves I have not tried but have TOBS bay rum and Victorian lime and love them both.
If you're looking for a cream try another brand.
