Re: classic-grooming.co.

Has anyone purchased from this website? If so, how was the service? I was about to start a thread on them when I read this. I ordered some Musgo Real from them almost 3 weeks ago and have not received it. Several days ago I sent them an e-mail asking what was up and did not even receive an answer t...

Not similar at all. It's a copy of AMEN (Thierry Mugler).

Jack Black Beard Lube

Just a word of praise for this product... I have been using various pre-shave oils the last few years but now I have found JB Beard Lube to be clearly superior. Just a dab on one fingertip I apply it after hot water and then the brush cream on top. (probably it would do well just by itself but that'...

Musco is awesome. I just got another tube from a C/M retail shop and, thankfully, yes, they are back to the original formula.

Re: Muhle-Pinsel: Anyone has one? Review please...

I just love the German style and would appreciate any comments on them I have a medium MP silvertip (forget the model but it was $65 a few years ago) I don't know how to compare it with anything else since it's the first and only brush I've owned so I guess my comment is not very helpfull?

Ok this is as geek as it gets but... Did anyone see Pan's Labyrinth and notice the multiple scenes of the antagonist shaving with badger and straight blade? I am not hardcore enough to know what blade or brush he was using, but it did make me think of the forums Well, since he was the type that cou...

I have bottles of both. I've never thought of them as similar, but I guess they are. I just put a little Yatagan on my left hand, Eucris on my right. There are some similarities but the Eucris is a more fruity, Yatagan has more of a celery/saltpeter note. I usually prefer Eucris but they're both go...

Yatagan = Eucris?

I have samples of both and I'll be damned if I can tell the difference - except Yatagan is less than half the price of Eucris :P

C-M did in fact change the scent, but more recently, about three or four years ago. The old scent was accurately described as a "better" Polo (the one in the green bottle), and now is a Davidoff Cool Water clone. I always thought the change ridiculous. If people want Cool Water, my guess ...

CVS Closing Out Palmolive?!

Just at my CVS to pick up Palmolive and it was on clearence :( So I bought the remaining 4 of course. Now I'm wondering if they're dropping it from all CVS stores? I mean, $3 a tube and it's just about as good as anything - I thought I had found my lather for life. I know where there's a couple more...

Re: Opinions on Number Six Cologne

I just bought a bottle of Caswell-Massey's Number Six Cologne. Out of the bottle it has a citrus top note with some spiciness underneath. The citrus fades almost immediately upon application and it settles into a very dry scent that I can't put my finger on. A couple of reviewers on basenotes.com s...

Re: Trumper colognes

I am thinking of a kickaround, Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon scent, and since I have an order coming, thinking of Trumpers. My preferences are for something that is not close to the skin, but projects, and lasts longer than usual. I dont like heavy on the vanilla, or powder, or vetiver. Here...
