But you enjoy it. That has to be worth something.

Everyone seems to be on a Mrysol kick as of late. So how is this stuff Obie, Keith, Mikael?

Bald Frog Shaving Soap
Simpsons Commodore Brush
Thiers Issard Razor
Captain's Choice Bay Rum



Got a sample of Bald Frog soap and instantly loved the scent. The soap reminds me of fall, October time, where everything has a dead crispness. The soap also performed well in my book. It left my face feeling great. Captain's Choice was the obvious follow up to the shave.

Indeed, it's a passion. When I was in radio, I was always up at four to do morning drive. Now I can't sleep after 4 a.m. even if I wanted to.

Joe, I've had the Myrsol for quite a while and not used it, until I realized I was out of Castle Forbes. Overall it is good stuff, non greasy, and with a pleasant fragrance. It's no Castle Forbes, but it will have to do until I send out an order for Castle Forbes.

I have to agree with Obie when he says "it is good stuff, non greasy, and with a pleasant fragrance". For the price I can get it here in Europe, it's a bargain too (for me).
