Initial thoughts from a newbie
I seem to have more soaps and creams than anything now so I thought I'd have my say.
Taylor of Old Bond Street Barber Shop Court Hairdresser - love it. This is the first cream I used and the fiorst time I used a brush. My God it felt like somebody was putting warm marshmellowy creamy goodness on my face.
Bodyshoppe cream in the tub - loved this as well and when put side to side with the Taylor brand I noticed it was the same colour and smell. The first 7 ingredients are the same and the bodyshoppe stuff is made in the UK......this also felt like a warm marshmellow was smeared on my face but felt a lettle better afterwards....my favorite one thus far. If it came in scents other than just the one they might have a windfall.
Proraso green tube - nice lather but I am not sure if I am a menthol kind of guy. I also bought the green jar preshave that can be used afterwards as well. Smelled like vicks. Not my fav but might use once in awhile. I am not sure why I would use it once in awhile but I suppose I would.
Nivea soap in the tube - this lathered up real nice and I liked it. I am not sure if I am sold on the Nivea line though - lots of chemicals etc.
Burt's Bees shave soap in the tube. Tried it once and gave to my wife to use on her legs if she wants. I don't think it was meant for a brush.
So my favorite has to go to the Bodyshoppe. It is all natural etc and is make in the UK.....
