Monday
Good morning everyone! Merkur HD Kent BK4 Musgo Real SC D.R. Harris Pink Acqua di Parma Really great shave, although my neck took a little beating. But that's because one can really cut close to the skin when using Musgo Real. Don't know why I haven't used it for so long. The smell is fantastic, the...
Lighting
Hi everyone, I have a question for our experts out there regarding the lighting in the bathroom. The mirror cabinet in my bathroom is blocking some light that the lamp above it is emitting and I was going to buy another lamp that you can a) put in the socket and b) nail onto the wall or clip onto th...

The parcel arrived a few moments ago and you are right about the scent of the Eau de Portugal, Jani, it really smells orangy and spicy. I think I am going to use it tomorrow evening after running and taking a shower. As for the other things, I am really intrigued by Taylor's Lavender SC, it really s...

I don't think water hardness would impact the scent of a soap unless it was so bad that you were unable to generate any lather at all, which seems unlikely. A more likely scenario is that your soaps are older and have lost their scent or perhaps your perception of the scent is affected by the fragr...

Alright, alright... I give up. You guys convinced me to give my Coates Lime SC another chance. I put it on the shelf since I am not an overtly big fan of the lime scent in general (strictly speaking of shaving products here). But hey, it's Coates and who knows, maybe I will change my mind about the ...

No, I don't want shine, so hair tonic with oil is quite alright with me.Aztecface wrote:Actually with the type of oil these two products have(if you should choose with oil) do not impart much of a shine to the hair. More of a conditioning or setting. If you want shine you should look for a Brilliantine.

I get serious dry skin dandruff in the winter. I've found jojoba oil (which is really a kind of wax) or unrefined coconut oil both help. Relatively cheap and available at Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods, Trader's Joes... Thanks. It's really not that serious with me, it's just that I never had this prob...

The addition of oil(different types) in some tonics does help with the conditioning of the hair and scalp. I have noticed especially in this past cold winter that the use of a hair tonic with oil did improve on my scalp condition(dandruff) and I had no problems this winter. Thanks for your reply. I...

Hair Tonic
Could anyone please explain to me what the benefits of using a hair tonic are? Do you use it if you have a dry scalp? Do you use it in the wintertime?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Scent of soap disappearing due to hard water?
Hi folks, we have very hard water in the part of Germany where I live and so far it did not bother me at all. But over the last couple of days I have been using the Yardley lavender soap in the shower and in a matter of seconds the scent of the soap is gone. Now I am not sure if this is due to the h...

Can you get a hold of Weleda products in your area? I am currently using their skin cream which comes in a green tube. So far I like it, but it is a bit firm which makes it hard to apply on the face. Anyway, Weleda uses only natural ingredients for their products, which try to stimulate the self-hea...

Jacket For Spring/Summer
Hi guys, I desperatley need a new jacket for the spring and summer, but have no clue what kind it is exactly I want. It should not be too long and the fabric not too thick and I like the colours beige, brown, blue or black, nothing fancy. The jacket should be timeless, elegant and simple but not too...

I am interested in a citrusy smell so either the Taylor Limes or the CM#6 or both will probably eventually end up on my shelf. I am also on the search for a fresh maybe soapy clean type of smell. Any thoughts on what to look for? Not really sure what vetivers are so maybe those will interest me as ...
