My favorite thus far is the orange. Stays mixed better than the others; no visible separation in the bottle. Great feel upon application; neither greasy nor tacky, sufficiently soothing (probably not enough to calm razor burn, but I try not to do that to myself ); best quality is the skin feel after absorbtion, almost as if I've applied a bit of talcum powder to my face. I love it.

More opinions later, gotta fly.
Cheers,
Ed

Ed,

You are right about it staying mixed the best. I used it again today to make sure I was really giving it a real go. Well......... it is still my least favorite and I was wondering why, I mean the scents are the same, how different could it be. After a bit I think it was that it looked like I poured milk into my hand. In addition it kind of stayed on my face in a few spots till I wiped it off. The others seemed to soak in. Just my humble opinion...

However the seperating is an issue that should be addressed. Someone might forget to shake and get too much of the oil. Don't know could be a problem.

I've tried all three, and I can't say I have a favorite. They all seem fine to me. However, the scent wasn't my fave. Reminded me too much of English Leather. I miss the "red" scent from last round! It felt more like something new and original.

I'd vote no too if I had a problem with complete absorption. I hope others will chime in on this point as I may very well be biasing the sample. I have to be very careful about wearing too much scent (of any kind) as my wife is VERY sensitive to colognes and perfumes. Thus, my application of all AS's tends to be quite light, maybe 4 or 5 drops from our samples. At this rate of application the orange is absorbed within seconds. Even at this rate, I've been warned that I'm pushing it . I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but would it be possible to bottle a 'lite' version of whatever AS we come up with? "All the soothing properties of our regular AS with half the scent". I see a copyright infringement on the horizon.

Cheers,
Ed

Oh yes, with regard to the emulsion...thumbs down from me, at least at the rates I've tested so far...very poor absorption, greasy. I may very well be using too much.

Ok here is a difference while my wife is also scent sensitive I guess I am not always so sensitive. I splash on the aftershave and get my whole face covered. I can tell that some of the scents we are testing are not a problem for my wife while others have been. (I used those a lot less.)
But back to our testing I find the yellow leaves a coating on my face which I prefer, while the orange just sat there. Did anyone else notice this?

However as I noted before whichever is decided upon it is essential that it stays mixed. at least in my opinion.

Hey Everybody,

I'm just checking in.....I am here, reading comments etc. I hear a strong yes......for the one that is staying together.

As far as scent, I can say 100% percent that for as long as we've been doing this very few of these have been liked by most. We're always 50/50 one way or the other.

Lots of orders right now....gotta run
