Having tried many brushless gels and creams, King of Shaves is at the top of my list. You can't beat the price, and I always get a close comfortable shave. Great for your work kit or when you're in a hurry!!!

I've used the cream. I don't like the smell, and the shave wasn't all that great. I kept having to reapply it.

Sounds like the soap is no good either (I have an unwrapped cake sitting in my cupboard, oh well).

I agree. I've had my tube of GFT for about a month, and I have no complaints. Although this is a cologne scented cream, it is not strong (like T&H 1805). This cream is very good for summertime. I also recommend Trumper Lime and Coconut for warmer weather. **In case your wondering: GFT stands for...

Ditto on King of Shaves Shave Oil.

I've always had trouble finding it at Walgreen's. Great success at CVS.

Darn this forum!

I just ordered six bars of Nancy Boy soaps (one of each scent). I have no doubt they'll live up to my expectations.

My father is taking a trip to Northern Ireland this August/September for two weeks of golfing. He told me that he'd be happy to buy any shaving products that I could help him find. He'll be staying in these locations: Newcastle, Co. Down -- The Sleive Donard Hotel Portrush, Co. Antrim.--The Magherab...

Original poster mentioned that he liked "Cargo."

Unfotunately they stopped printing "Cargo" about a year ago. I really enjoyed the magazine, but apparently there weren't enough subscribers.

Closest thing I've found to it is "Details."

Did they also carry Trumpers shaving cream?

I'm looking for a great old-fashioned barber shop in the greater Nashville, TN area. Does anybody know of one???

If you have an extra or if you don't use it, I'm interested.

Thanks,

A quick question about Enchante's offerings.

Does it make a difference if you buy the Spanish Leather cologne in a plastic bottle? I noticed it's much cheaper:

$30.00 ea. 100ml/3.5 oz plastic bottle

Do you lose any quality when you go with plastic?

I have also had a good experience with AOS Lavender (in a tub)... but I must say AOS Lemon (in a tube) is one of my worst acquisitions. The smell is decent but I also have trouble getting a good meringue lather.

Maybe it's the tube?

Good post Mo...

Slipslope...

Just curious, where did you get your variety of samples from?

Were you charged? How was your experience with each company?

Evan, I will also recommend using tubs for all the reasons stated above. I would also say that building lather directly on my beard seems to produce a thicker, higher-quality lather. I have found it much more difficult to create a consistent water/cream ratio while mixing in a mug or bowl. But keep ...

And... what good is a brush without a high quality cream?

Therefore the only answer my dear Watson must be "DE Razor."

Although new to wetshaving I have tried all of the creams you are interested in. I must throw my support behind TRUMPERS LIME. It smells great, lathers well, and provides plenty of cushion for my shave. I know there are a lot of Taylor and Trumper doubters around here. I never had the pleasure of tr...

Thanks Tim...

Honeybee soaps just came in the mail today.

Michael helped me choose... Vanilla Oak, Coffee Mocha, Peppermint, Lime and Lemon.

Can't wait to give them a try...Thanks also to Sue for great service.
