Okay tried the Blu. Upon first use the scent did open up a bit for me. More citruses and florals came out. Very pleasant scent and not too strong. I prefer more punch in my scent but with the...

Okay! So I got a tub of the Blu. It’s up for tomorrow’s shave. Does the scent change during or after lathering? Just smelling the puck, the scent doesn’t do much for me. My nose says bland chocolate...

Maybe intentional, but Cella is in the Third Tier and Staples as well. Haha! To be fair, there’s a lot of soaps on there! Probably over one hundred!

Obie, you have PannaCrema listed in both your First and Second tier. Could you clarify, please. Maybe at one time you were referring to differing scents? :confused:

I have, but have not yet tried, the Baume.be shave cream. I tried the aftershave balm today. Very nice! Very pleasant scent! Maybe a bit heavy, but good for cold, dry weather.
Have been using...

Now that I have a few shaves behind me with Esbjerg Amber Cardamon, I can attest that it's a fantastic cream. Scent is not bad either.

I tried Klar Seifen Classic soap for the first time today. Definitely a stellar performer but, I don't think I'm too keen on the scent. Sort of metallic maybe? Like a metallic scented L'Occitane...

I have a tub of Frankie and Myrna on deck to try when it comes up in rotation. Dead on incense scent! Also a sample of Windy City Barber. Interesting barber shop that sets in an industrial area...

I think the Cuero Oscuro smells fantastic! Very unique. I have nothing else that smells quite like it. And, little birdie told me it will be available in a fragrance in the near future as well. :-)

I can say, even though the coffret is very pretty, that Boellis Panama 1924 is definitely not very good. I'll have to try it again, but it may just belong in the basement tier.

Oh, my! I suddenly feel $40 trying to escape my wallet!

All this D.R. Harris praise, Arlington especially, gonna have to pull out my recently acquired Arlington shave stick for tomorrow's shave. I've used it once. No problems with the shave and the scent...

I'm speaking of the one that comes in the blue tub/jar. Fougere or Cologne scented and maybe an unscented. That's the one you're are referring to, that you say works very well for you, right?

I've been pondering a tub of Valobra for quite some time. I have the Valobra soap stick and happen to think, outside of a lack of scent, it's one of the best soap sticks I've tried. Your comment has...

1.I like Tabac too. I haven't used it in a long time. Need to try it again and see if its as good as I remember. I have the A/S splash and balm also. At one time had a bar of the bathsoap($10!,...

Ok, my first impressions of Boellis Panama 1924 Coffret is good. The performance seemed similar to L'occitane Cade. Maybe a deluxe version of that. The scent is interesting in that in the coffret it...

Ok. Tried the Le Père Lucien Rose de Pushkar this morning. The lather seemed like a liquid pillow! Very nice, first tier worthy imo. The scent is very interesting too. Rose, cinnamon and something...

These just arrived! :)226886 After some use I'll form an opinion about which tier they fall in.

I have the soap and the a/s. I need to use the soap a few more times to make a fair judgement. I like the scent, but yeah, it's just about a dead ringer for Acqua di Gio.

Ok, where does Boellis Panama 1924 shave soap shake out in all this? I've been pondering the coffret version 'cause I'm a sucker for pretty packaging. :p

I could never make L'occitane Cade soap work beyond adequate until I tried lathering it with a horsehair brush. I received it, with the cool stainless bowl, as a gift. Not a top tier for me but, it's...

As much as I too would probably consider Trumpers Violet a top tier cream, I would not use it on many consecutive shaves with light hair natural brushes. I fear the dark purple dye could permanently...
