Re: Used up my Coates stash...what’s good these days?

Thanks! I may have to try AOS and Taylor and give the Trumpers a try just to experiment.
I bought so much shave gear years ago I haven’t had to order anything in years. It’s fun to be shopping again!

Re: What bath soap are you using right now?

L'occitane Lavender bath soap, the big bar. I've tried and like all they have, the Milk Soap, Verbene.
Great soaps, really like them.

Re: Ok, sold DE, now I need to start over

Ahh..the excitement of starting over!
I like all my current stuff but I miss the days of experimenting with new gear and finding what works and doesn't.
Hope you find the 'grail' again!

Re: Art of Shaving (AOS) Rose Absolute Shaving Cream

Gary,
Thanks for the info, I'm always on the lookout for good rose products. I missed out on this one when came out, glad to hear able to try it out, maybe AOS may do this one again some day?
In the meantime I have a few tubes of Coate's Rose in my hoard that I use sometimes. :D

Re: Question for the scent Mavens

Although discontinued, if you can find QEDman Pine and Cedarwood shave soap it may be a contender.
Been years since I had it but I recall it basically smelling like a cedar chest full of pine cones and very strong.

Re: Coates Availiable

Thanks for the update, Roger. I have bought a few of these off and on. He must have thousands of them in stock. Tempted to get a few more (curious about the tea tree and almond) but I still have a decent supply of the sandalwood, lime and lavender. They are a perfect size for travel. Recommend both...

Re: Pawns stars shamelessy tries to pulloff a DE razor

Hey, he could be pitching the latest 7 blade cartridge system, so it's not all bad. I do think the price is too high, esp with the bogus shipping, but this could all be worse. Maybe we can negotiate? "It's $19.99" "How about $5? It's just a stinkin Weishi" "I'll do $15"...
