    Thanks for including the article. It's a good read on this exceptionally fine shaving cream. Certainly the comparison to Domenico Caraceni (discontinued) is a high compliment, and deserving, I might add. I highly recommend Baum.Be. Although not everyone will like the scent, the performance is exceptional.

    It's a very unique soap, Osma Alum Shaving Soap.

    Well, I just ordered some, along with some Fine Aftershave splash to go with it. Woot! I'm excited to try it!

    But not to be outdone, I got the Baum.Be. soap and aftershave too!! WOOT!!

    I just HAVE to see what the fuss is about with these two soaps. I'm generally a scent whore, so I'd normally pass on both of these soaps, but now that I know how a good soap can make your face feel... I have to try. I just do. I'm addicted to that healthy face feel.

    Should be here for the weekend!

    Yes - sorry I got the Baum.Be cream and aftershave, and the Osma hard triple milled soap. Both of them are highly rated for the conditioning of the skin rather than scent, which is what I normally seek.

    The Baum should be here this weekend, and the Osma next week. I am so excited!!

    Some soaps on the way from a new maker I read a bit about, Sue Z Bana, some hand made soaps from the UK.

    I ordered four, now that I have more real estate to shave, figure I'll be done these in two weeks. She's got some reasonable prices and interesting looking soaps.

    In Newmarket poking around and stopped in to the Crabtree & Evelyn store to see if they had any old stock of Nomad. Nope. But they did have an open sample of this which I found to have a delightful scent. So it being on sale for 50% off, I had to try it. If just for the bowl, hehe.

    Cardamom and bergamot accords, as per the label. Suds test to follow later.
    Personally always enjoyed the C and E Nomad, both scent, and slickness..
    Cheers.

    There’s a Crabtree & Evelyn in Newmarket? Where? Man I’m usually in Newmarket every two years or so - I had no idea.

    I was in that exact same store last summer, and bought that exact same soap - couldn't believe it, the wife actually asked me if I wanted anything.

    I have both the Nomad and the MM, think they're both almost the same AFAIC.....great deal!
