Of the four you mentioned, Yardley is the only one worth pursuing IMHO. It's the best performing soap I've ever used. The modern day equivalent is AoS Lavender, but the AoS still falls just short in the performance department. The eBay market for Yardley has been all over the place lately, but is do...

I'll have to chime in as a Pre de Provence fan. In my experience, it is a top notch product in the price, performance, and scent departments. I'm fond of the ASB as well, particularly in the winter months. I find PdP very easy to lather, so perhaps it is more sensitive to the local water than other ...

1983. My Dad taught me in an empty Target parking lot. We drove his '75 BMW 1600. By the time I got my DL, he had upgraded to a diesel VW Rabbit. I switched between it and a '64 Corvair convertible until i saved enough money in '84 to buy a '78 VW Scirocco, my very first car owned by me. Thanks to m...

One of my favorites. I've never had a problem with it. I've always felt like it dried quickly and left my face smooth, sealed, and protected. I always apply to a wet palm, distribute between hands, and rub/pat it into a face still damp from a cold water rinse. As far as ingredients go, I always thou...

Penhaligon's English Fern (tallow) 2. Pre de Provence 3. L'occitane Cade Skin Care: 1. Mitchell's Wo...

Re: In the St. Louis area for awhile
Any locals have suggestions for any good shave shops? (Or any shop, really. Nebraska isn't exactly a buyer's oasis.) Thanks! I grew up there and go back quite often. Sadly, I haven't found much available in the shaving realm. There is L'occitane, Crabtree & Evelyn, and a few smoke shops that ma...

+1 on AoS Lavender. It is the finest shaving soap in current production IMHO and is on par with the discontinued tallow based Penhaligons soaps in the performance department. I would say it's a fresh scent with a certain sharpness to it.petr wrote:aos lavender. not exactly fresh, but still a good one.

I never got along with the Fusion. In the short term, it gave really good results though the shaving process itself was somewhat uncomortable. In the long term it just plain tore may face up. I couldn't use it every day. Fusion aside, I regularly use a Sensor (twin). Probably 1/3 to 1/2 time these d...
