The fragrance stays with ya a long time. They

that you like you have a winner because the shave
soap is way better than OK. Not to be used
with cologne that would be just too much.

For the intimate private times nothing is better
than the subtleness of MWF!

Note that I am normally NOT a fan of cologne
or fragrances in general. Too many are
too strong and tickle allergic like reactions
in others especially in confined spaces like
conference rooms, offices and aircraft. QED fragrances
seem to be based on very pure and natural
sources and while strong as heck may be OK
in close quarters where AX and those infernal
over marked to teenager products would not.

ill have to try this QED i like the sound of the scents fresh and manly lol

what is this MWF?

MWF is Mitchell's Wool Fat shaving soap.
It is one of the top half dozen classic hard shave soaps.
Some smokers cannot smell the subtle fragrance but
I can and love it. When the neighbors orange tree blooms
and the night air is soft warm and just right.... sort of thing.

ok gotcha i was lookin into that as well, i ordered SRD's essential oil shaving soap sampler its just hard for me to get a great lather cause the wedges are so small but yeah they smell great too

Want something different?

Go to Victoria secret and buy Very sexy for him, they hve a matching aftershave too.

Both the cologne and the aftershave are the only thing I've been wearing the past few years.

Up here in Canada we don't have Vic secret so no one I know wears it. Maybe down there not many guys wanna venture into the store so you might have something unique.

Either way I say go for the aftershave it's my favorite.

ACQUA DI PARMA - Welcome -

A man could do much worse than Acqua di Parma Colonia as his first cologne, especially in this warm weather time of year.

Make that (at least) three of us. If you ever bought any supplies/traps/etc. from Headwaters Outpost ... that was us. We folded when the fur markets tanked in the early 80's. Lost my butt on that venture.

There were some lessons learned, though. I made our own scents, and got familiar with many the various essences and the way they either blend or dominate. Doggone shame I've got the oldtimer's disease and can't remember much specifically.

As for the Victoria's Secret "Sexy" men's scents - I don't doubt they smell good to women, considering what their clothes do for men. However, unless it came in a plain brown wrapper with a bogus return address and in an unmarked bottle, the minute my wife saw it I'd be accused of having an affair. That's simply not true, I only kissed her one time at an office party and we'd all been drinking.

i dont know how old you are. But if your looking for a classic crisp scent. Givenchy Pi (as in the math symbol) is a very crispt scent.

if your looking for a younger softer scent im a big fan of Adventure by Davidoff.

I forgot to mention it earlier, but thre is always J. Peterman's 1903. It's a great smelling cologne that gets me complments whenever I wear it.

It can be purchased online at the J. Peterman website.

I got into trapping because my youngest son saw some furs at my friends house and said Dad can we catch some furs like these? I said sure,but i didn't know the difference between a mink and a muskrat! So we took the course, he was 10 and i was 44 and that was 10 years ago.Better late than never.I got some equip for minnesota trapline. Are you still able to get out and set some steel?
