Thread: Masculine scented shaving soap

Hey guys

My Sunday morning shave has become somewhat of a ritual for me, I see the wife out the door as she leaves for work, I put the children's tv on, I have a hot shower followed by a straight razor shave. This is how Sunday mornings go for me and it just isn't the same if something is missed.
My problem is that I will be shortly running out of my Taylors of Bond st sandlewood soap.
in short I need recommendations for a highly masculine scented soap to shave with.

Thanks

Do creams qualify?
If so, Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar is very masculine and it's performs well.

All of the Proraso range smell good to me, Cella is another nice one.

I'm a big fan of Pedal Pushers, their Black Tea is a very dry and not at all sweet scent, and the Oakmoss and Sage has a nice herbal scent. I find Tabac one of the more "masculine" scents. Some of the more sweeter scents I like include Taylor's Almond, eShave Linden and most Sandal woods, again Pedal Pushers has a particularly intense version. Just stay away from their "Amber". You might also try a coconut scent.

Mikes natural soaps are nice with a variety of scents. i like his barbershop scent.

Yea, I'll second the Tabac as being masculine smelling. Coupled with their AS and EDT and you are good to go.

How would you describe the Tabac scent Bob (or anyone)?

I'm sitting here with a the puck under my nose and trying to think of something to describe it..... I can't think of a comparison, it's just understated and classy. While you could wear it any time, I think of it as the kind of smell that would go with a shirt and tie and probably impress a lady who might get close to you.
That sounds a little like advertising boilerplate but the best I can come up with.

+1 on the Tabac...

And the best description of the scent I have heard is: "it smells like the 70's"

It comes in Soap, Creme (tube) and Stick.
And about as far away from Lilac and Lavender as you can get...

Smooth Shaving...

Bay rum. Razorock. Mama bears. SRD. All nice. Then you can get crazy with aftershaves too
