    Luxury for me is what I use before spending the day with my lovely wife of nearly fifty years, as I try to use scents that she enjoys, as well as scents that she picked out for me. I most often will use Alvarez Gomez, Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet cream, or Czech & Speake No. 88. I've also been using a couple of WSP soaps, with scents similar to Creed Silver Mountain Water and to Creed Green Irish Tween, colognes that she's gifted to me.

    Just use it all. It's only soap and cream. If they stop making it then don't worry, the marketing machines and forum/social media shillers have the next set of emporers new clothes ready and waiting...

    Pretty much all my soaps are top tier so there is no special soap for special occasions.

    When you get to be my age every day you wake up is a special occasion

    Har har.

    TRUEFITT AND HILL is now my top choice. Excellent products, not inexpensive but top of the line.

    Nuavia Blu is my luxury soap. Mostly use it on Sundays and special occasions. I just love that scent.

    I probably would use it less sparingly if they sold refill pucks.

    Aloha!

    Not because it's a Hawaiian thing... really and truly... not. But Stirling's iced Pineapple is my definite current favorite Lux Soap - with a few others close behind. The scent is incredible to me. It reminds me of my mother's Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Bless her heart and rest her soul). It's the only soap that truly smells good enough to eat. And I think that Stirling is an underrated soap anyway, as its lather is superior. And I happen to love menthol in soap and/or aftershave. So the combination of the AMAZING scent with superior lather and some menthol make this a top shelf winner for me.

    Combine this with the matching aftershave and I smell delicious all day.

    As a matter of fact, that will be tomorrow's shave.

    Mahalo for the idea!

    Life is short and the difference in cost per shave between "meh" and "oh this is wonderful - made my day" is often less than what you loose in the cushions on any given day.

    For me....the return (happy) on investment from soaps & creams I like has been better than many of the things I trade money for.

    Just try to pace yourself...I'm on the "see if you can work your way through that basket under the counter" phase and it's working out...for now.

I am however in the market to add a couple higher performing candidates for regular rotation. At the end of the month I am making the trip to imperial SRD brick an mortar store. I will be looking to add some then.
