Thread: Shave Den's Permanent Residents

Leatherstockiings,

Please respect the thread's focus of "permanent soaps and creams in the shave den." Thanks.

Obie

For me it's
Soaps
Palmolive Shave Stick
Arko shave stick
Taylor's cream's
Grapefruit
Mint
Others will be tried when I run out of the 2 types I am currently using.
But my skin seems to prefer Taylor's cream's.
The 2 sticks I have listed are permanent in my rotation.
Cheers Paul

Is the Maca Root you speak of, from the Body Shop?
I was very impressed with that cream
Thick, rich and slick, impressive for the price
Body shop has it on for 1/2 price from time to time
