Thread: citrus?

Musgo Real Spiced Citrus is a good choice. Geo. F. Trumper essence of limes is very nice and the cream is even green,

Arko is cheap enough for the stick so you can treat it like a sample. You do not have to use it in stick form. It is soft enough that you can warm it a bit by rolling between your hands and then press it into a bowl/cup for loading a brush.

Mama Bear Soaps has an Orange Essential Oils shaving Soap that is just awesome.

Stirling Lime is the strongest citrus I have found

I like Cold River Soap Works. Haven't tried this one yet, but I may get it before summer time. From their website:
Jardin d’Orange
This fragrance opens unapologetically with a blast of tart orange and settles quickly into a citrus blend of lemon zest and juicy mandarin. A green accord develops to reveal notes rich with a woodsy earthiness, like a walk through a blossoming orange grove.

Musgo Real has a Orange scented cream. If it's as good as their Spiced Citrus I'm sure I'd like it.

I just got Dr. Jon's Arctic Hydra which smells the most citrus of any I've found. There is also the plain Hydra with no menthol which I'm sure is just as good. It provides a great shave too!

I'm a huge citrus lover, and have tried tons. Maggard Razors sells sampler packs - saw that suggested and I would second that suggestion.

TOBS Grapefruit is the most powerful citrus blast out there. Esbjerg Grapefruit is a close second, and that scent actually lingers longer, especially if you match it with their grapefruit aftershave. I love them both.

Mama Bears orange is strong, and is a good soap. There are a ton of lime scented soaps and creams, but for me Mikes soap is the freshest and longest lasting svent, followed by Captains Choice Lime.

It's tough to find citrus scents with any sort of staying power, and I've found the above to be the best scents with longer lasting lingering scents. AoS Lemon is a great cream that smells great, but the scent disappears quickly, and I've found that with most other citrus soaps and creams I've used with the exception of above. Good luck! And it's exciting to have more citrus lovers around!

Castle Forbes Lime packs a punch. Performance is way up the ladder. Might as well stick your nose in a basket full of limes, it's that good and strong.

I would describe it as 'fruity'. Seems citrus is there.

For me the scent of Arko reminds me of the small rectangular wrapped soap you get in the cheap motels, that barely fit on the palm of your hand and you drop several times while trying to take a shower
