My wife and I are headed to Chicago this weekend for our anniversary. She is letting me pick out my present at the T&H store on Michigan Ave. Now, which Soap do o get!!?!?? It's a hell of a problem to have. Haha. I have Provence sante that I adore, omega that I hate, Proraso green tub that I like, and co bigelowe that I can't stand. Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?
I absolutely love 1805.
Why's that?
You would have to smell it to know.
They all perform similarly.
I second 1805. A great scent for the morning, fresh and light...love it!
About 2 months ago I wasted money on a tub of west indian limes. Love the scent, but the product is vastly inferior to my other soaps and creams. Just mho.
Are all your other products Castle Forbes? Because by any metric you care to use, T&H is a very high quality product.Quote:

I will definitely look into 1805. I like Provence sante enough to want to eat it, it's so good. I'm looking for something I like just as much.
+1. 1805s scent is fantastic.Quote:

Yeah, I hate the few sandalwoods I've smelled. I have a C&E version and I have never lathered it because I just can't handle the smell.
I like the 1805 personally. It has a great scent, nice & thick.
Well, this is a tough situation to be in. Sounds like the members have spoken on the 1805. I'll have to try that one too. Also, you should send me the CO Bigalow....LOL.

I've been working on the T&H sample pack. So far, Trafalgar and Almond are my favorites. The almond is surprisingly sweet and almost cloying-you want to try a taste!. All have been great performers for me.
Out of curiosity, how many shaves can you get from the sample size creams?
About 3. Maybe 4 if you stretch it.Quote:

I love the 1805. It's light, slightly floral, and complex. Some of the others are too heavy for me and too much like the cologne my dad wore when I grew up. To me, the Lime smelled more like soap than limes. In general, I don't like heavy, dark fragrance though, like musk, sandalwood, patchi, etc. So YMMV.
My wife LOVES 1805!
