    pjrage if you dont like the typical clove smelling Bay Rum, you could try Ogalla Bay rum/sandlewood. After it dries , to me it almost smells like baby powder. Its really hard to explain but it does not have that heavy clove scent. Its not real strong but it does last longer than the orignal flavor Bay rum, I did have a lady hug me today and she commented that I smelled nice, it was the first time I wore the Ogalla Bay rum/ sandlewood to work.

    Took you 3 months to get your first cut? Well I beat you to the punch a long time ago.
    I gotten a couple of decent slices on my cheeks, but nothing for a while.

    I've heard nothing but great things about Colleen's soaps....I'm tempted to try it out.

    First of all mike sorry to hear about the cut.
    I have had similar experance with pinaud bay rum .
    Found it to be to spicy and the flavor didn't last long.
    So I tried masters well comb bay rum and I like this one .
    The scent stays on almost till you wash it off + must have a conditioner in it cause man its smooth and smells really good
    sort of the baby powderesh . But I also want to buy the ogallalla bay rum
    (the grolsch bottle ) .I have heard nothing but good things ,same with the soap .

    Dave Colleens soap IMO is the best I have tried so far ,I have only tried maybe 10 soaps but her stuff is really good.She sells really small sample bars that are only like $2 and something. I came home from work today and my bedroom smells like Bay rum I left her soap on the nightstand last night.

    Broncobob right now the (Grolsch Bottle) size is only like $20 and they threw in an extra sample of bay rum cologne.

    Mike,

    try to let it heal for at least a week and shave around it. Use some neosporin.

    Which blade was the culprit?

    Mike,

    Remember when people ask about it tell them it was a dueling scar. Makes you sound very manly...lol. I did that twice and it was a trip.

    As for the soap I love Colleens soaps also Mama Bears are great too. I liked the bay rum from Pinaud though haven't used it in a bit though, my wife loves the West Indian Lime from Crantree & Evelyn so that has become my standard.

    I have to say that two of the best things I have aquired in my short time of straight shaving is a razor from Max and soaps from Colleen. These are two people I will deal with untill they retire.

    lol Max , the culprit was the beauty you made for me, I dont want to use anything else . I just cant believe how sharp you got that razor. With very little stropping that razor feels like it glides on ice when I use it.

    Jeremy , Yes from day one I have been lucky without even a nick. I just stayed focused , took my time and have had great shaves. When I finally sliced myself I almost didnt know what to do, I kept shaving but the red lather started to get to me. I felt like the boxer who gets hit and knocked out for the first time, I felt it cut and thought oh oh ..... I didnt move and thought ok nothing happened that just felt weird, but then came the red lather.
