I've been using Col. Conk. It's okay, but not great. Is there anything better? I've heard that Burt's Bees is pretty good but just looking at the ingredients it seems like it would be almost exactly the same. I'd be willing to try a cream or a soap, so long as it smelled good and lathered better than what I've got.
burt's bees is very different.. the balm is what you're talking about right? my personal fave is pinaud clubman..
also.. check out..

oh wait.. i just realized you were asking about soaps and creams.. if i were you.. i'd try the bomb.. calypso is what the bayrum is called..
I highly recommend CarrieM's Bay Rum cream. Great scent, great lather, amazing price.
+1 for Calypso, really fine
I've used the Burt's Bees soap. Skip it. It makes a poor lather that dries very fast.
I second the motion. Great stuff IME.Quote:

Would you mind linking me to either of these products so I can look at the cost, quantity per container, possibly purchase, etc.
CarrieM doesn't have a site, but you can PM her anytime. (I think the same is true of Alraz) I'm pretty sure her tubs still sell for $12.50 at 4oz, or thereabouts. Al has a nice advertisement up in the vendor's corner, and --as I recall-- is running a promotional discount. Might be a good time to try both! :DQuote:

Both awesome products, and for a soap I would also take a look at Ogallala Bay Rum, great soap and a great price.
Ogallala Bay Rum > Shaving Soap
