    Default Are You Ever Satisfied?

    I use The Body Shop Maca Root shave cream. Used to use their Hemp one but they stopped making it and changed to the Maca Root. I've tried a couple of others, but I'm happy with the Maca Root and gonna stick to it (as long as they keep making it).

    Do you stick to one? Use various ones? Are you always trying new ones?

    I try new ones if they really sound good from others reviews , and if Obie recommends them I usually try it since all of his have been winners, but I stick to just a couple as a regular basis , MDC being the one I use the most. Tc

    I have my favorites. MdC for sure. I like trufitt and hill creams. Castle Forbes. ToB Eton. I am happy with them. I could use any one everyday and be very content.

    But no, I am always trying new stuff. Maggards has samples and their line of soaps have been good so far

    I do order some new ones occasionally, but for months now I'm constantly going back to the Truefitt and Hill. I can't (so far) find anything I like better.

    I think the guys that have their soaps brushes and razors figured out and they have a small selection that they are happy with, don't spend a lot of time on the forums. I am in the camp of those always trying new things. I often switch up my straights, soaps and brushes. I also have the Macca Root. Nice soap, but I don't think I'm a one soap kind of guy. I think those that are are the ones that save money with shaving.

    I have a stable of favorites. On rare occasion I'll try something new.

    I'm always interested in trying something new, I have enough soaps now that what I've got pretty much covers the basis in terms of ingredients and scents, and I've narrowed down to really liking the MDC Fougere and Original scented, the Tabac, Acqua Di Parma is awesome, MWF, DR Harris, T&H completely awesome, and Barrister and Mann are right up there....those with mixing it up with various straights, DE's and brushes are proving very enjoyable, I can pretty much come up with something new and different each time.
