Thread: soaps and creams

just curious

I gotta say one at a time even though I haven't really had the chance to get more, but I likely wouldn't normally. I will be looking for my first brush soon though so all that fun should start too.

Technically 2 but I use the shave gel only as a pre-shave softener. I rinse my face WELL before applying real soap, otherwise that stuff leaves sticky residue on the blade. I don't understand how people can actually shave with it. On a good note, the first batch of Colleen's samples is coming in soon.

P.S. X, what's that creme you showed me called again? I liked the smell/feel of it.

I usually have 4 which I rotate depending on my mood. Shaving with the same old stuff every day gets to be a drag. Remember variety is the spice of life!

That's Lush Ambrosia (north side of Queen St, east of Spadina)

Lol thanks. I'll look into it when I get some free time to head towards the downtown.

in my current rotation...
burma shave
williams
Chelsea's garden bay rum
cowboy's herban soap
burt's bees bay rum (not recommended for straights IMHO)
SCS new spice
Mama bear (Dragons blood and Egyptian musk)
Old Spice
Avon
Em's Place (Outdoors)
so that's 11 soaps and...
T & H 1805 cream
Trumpers Coconut cream
AOS sandlewood
Poraso green
all in all, I can go for over 2 weeks before I use something twice!

I put three on the poll since I only have three with me currently the rest are at home. The ones I have with me now are.
Taylor cream Eton College (not to fond of this fragrance if I get another Taylor cream will try a different one)
Taylor soap Lavender (not bad not sure with so many different soaps to try if I’ll go back and get another one)
Geo F Trumper Rose Cream (have gotten to use this one yet as it just arrived)

You might try the Taylor of OBS St. James shave cream. I really love the smell.

I did have three. I had two cakes of the old Barbershop soap that I've been saving for years, along with porcelain on steel camp mugs to give to my two sons. I did this recently along w/ my two old boar bristle brushes, one German, a Mohawk Canadian. Now I just have my old black Rubbermaid mug w/ melted down Crabtree & Evelyn seashell jojoba soap that my wife didn't care for. To this I aways add the last sliver of her non-allergenic glycerine soapl. So theoretically, this could last me the rest of my natural life! Hey, I'm cheap! With a personal spending allowance of $10 a week, there are things I want to spend it on before soap! Also, witch hazel is about my only aftershave (some old Bay Rum for special occasions). OK, drum me out & ban me from the board.
