Thread: soap or cream for the dry months

Try picking up the Van Der Hagen shaving soap for sensitive skin. It's pinkish and it has lanolin and shea butter in it. It won't dry your skin out.

While Caswell-Massey sandalwood did produce very good lather for me (you can have it either stiff or runny) I think it irritated my skin and I got sick of the scent. I still hate sandalwood because of it. The C-M almond oil (pre-shave) was also irritating my skin and I hated it too...

For your issues: I'd shave with pretty much whatever, but would follow it up with L'Occitane CADE ASB. This thing is pretty heavy, I would think exactly the ticket for your needs

And there's always whale blubber, isn't this what the locals use

Cheers

can't believe you're passing on the blubber

just kidding, of course. But seriously, I think if it was used for so long - it must work very well. If I were going ice fishing - I'd probably try it, as well as bring some serious amounts of vodka

You can probably ask L`Occitane store clerk for a sample - the tube is like $30, and if you don't like / tolerate it that would suck

Good luck

i always bring the Dr. McGillicutty’s peppermint scnapps with me, gives your breath the same feeling as crest first thing in the morning. ill be trying the L`Occitane
