Hello, BullGoose:

By Jove, now I am relieved to hear of the burning problem you have with Musgo Real, as well. I thought I was hallucinating, since I seemed to be the only one who brought up this point. Musgo Real on my face felt like a smooch from the Devil.

I also concur about some burning problems with Taylor's creams. It's not as bad as that from Musgo Real, or Gold Dachs soap. For me, it is not the rose scent. I love the scent, especially that used in Harris and Trumper. Taylor is something else. As I understand, Taylor and Trumper creams are both produced by Creighton, I imagine to individual specifications, which perhaps could point to certain blends used in Taylor's that disagree with my skin, I don't know.

Regards,

Obie

That's a shame about the Musgo guys. It's great by itself, and it excels when Uber'd with MWF and some Glycerin...The only soap that sets my face on fire, were TGQ for some reason. I forget which one's exactly, but I bought samples some time ago.

I love the Musgo. It lathers well, smells great, and my face gets no irritation. I may not be the best gauge for sensitivity though as I regularly encounter fiberglass and other nasty things at work and am not irritated by that. Also I love the Musgo aftershave, and look forward to getting my gubament moneys next week so I can pick up their orange-amber cologne. Just my two (s)cents worth.
