Thread: Favorite Combo's

I rinse, then use Alum, rinse, dry, followed by Witch Hazel. I'd love to be able to just rinse the soap off, and leave it at that. Most days, I probably could. Most of these soaps and creams are very moisturising and have wonderful fragrances, but just don't last. I enjoy them while I'm using them. Once the Witch Hazel dries, I find myself looking for an AS Balm. I've spoke of Taylor of old Bond St. Sandalwood luxury aftershave gel. This suff truly is "Luxury" It's a thick gel, not a whimpy cream, so it's great if you have irriatation, or not. What I really like about it, is the long lasting sandalwood fragrance. I haven't found anything that comes close to this in the "Lasting Fragrance Dept"

When I use it, which is sparingly, it's pricey, but well worth the extra money, I don't need Cologne, which I wear most days, (John Varvatos, Eternity, Cool Water, Lagerfeld, and Full Metal Jacket mainly) once my AS or AS Balm wears off. Especially if your using a balm, they really don't last at all either, but TOBS Luxury does...I work 330p-1200am and can smell it's wonderful fragrance into the evening. If you splash water on your face, it seems to re activate. Good stuff. Maybe it's my body chemistry? Colognes, AS's, Just don't last on me...If I wear a Cologne, I bring the bottle to work, and reapply 2x maybe...?
