I've used tiger balm but it is just a bit too hot for me. Washing hands before using the loo is a must.

Paul,

Today's shave was tremendous (6 pm EST) I just cracked open my last puck of Col. Conk's Almond, and the scent, OOOHHHH the scent. I remember reading somewhere that U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a big fan of Almond shave products, and I can say I honestly understand why. I used my AoS Silvertip for whippin' up that lather, and was very pleased. The best part was the Clubman Classic Vanilla.

lirijavdekje,

You may have read it on Caswell Massey's website. It is claimed by CM that Ike and Mamie used their Almond bath soap while he was in the White House.

I don't know if he was a big fan of their almond shaving soap though.

Jhenry,

That may very well have been where I read that, so thanks for the heads up. From what I understand, CM shave creams aren't all that great. I didn't know they made shave soaps though, I may want to try one. Almond is pretty kick-ass if I may say so. I haven't used Col. Conk since I first started wetshaving, so to be able to revisit a puck was definitely nice.

lirijavdekje,

If you want some kick a** almond shaving soap, get some RazoRock "Classic." The RazoRock shaving products have been getting rave reviews here.

I have a jar of their artisan soft soap in "Napoleon's Violet" and am in love with it.

Is it anything like cella? I've never purchased from RasoRock, though I heard their XXX soap is great.
