    Thanks, I've been wondering where I could find some Clubman locally. Used some old spice aftershave tonight in an attempt to mask the smell of that brush!

    Meant to add that I have some "Vulfix Luxury Shaving Cream" and a puck of the Classic Shaving soap on the way along with a Vulfix 2234 brush. Hoping this brush won't smell as bad as the Omega.

    Badgers are hit and miss on the "wet dog" smell. Soak it and see, and if the odor is there...whip up some Proraso and let it sit for a bit...then give it a very thorough rinse. Proraso seems to be good at removing odors.

    Does anyone know if C.O. Bigelows is the same stuff that they sell at Bath & Body Works? I was just in one of their stores last week with my wife and I swear that that name looks familiar. All that they had was tubes of cream and when I looked at the box, it said that it was made for Proraso. So I figured that it was just a rebranded Proraso is all and passed on it. If it is the same then I wish that Bath & Body would carry more of their selection.

    I wouldnt use anything less than fine french high altitude lavender in a cologne or aftershave, after researching lavender quite a bit I have learned a lot, and have decided I am an eccentric pain in the ass. I'll be happy to share my lavender research with you if you are really that bored.....but the bottom line is I got English lavender which is what most companies use such as GFT, AOS, CM, etc etc....
    I wan to make a nice preshave oil with a pure lavender scent, which would mean only two ingredients my base (havent figured that out yet) and the essential oil. So thats the beginnings of my plan.
    I am a big lavander fan too JL. QED makes(made) a GREAT Lavander soap. I can't find their site anymore. It was the only one I knew that actually smelled like French Lavander. Incidently, there is nothing so lovely as a field of rolling Lavandula in full bloom.

    http://www.qedusa.com

    this site uses Frames so to get to their QED soaps you:

    - on the left side down near the bottom it says "OTHER FABULOUS TOILETRY PRODUCTS OFFERED BY QED" and it has a flickering colour flag next to it... click that link

    - scroll down to middle of page you will find it says "QEDman [USA]" ...those are all his soaps.

    yes there is still lavender on there.

    hope that helps. i also am a large fan of charles' soaps. they work fantastic.
