Floris Elite, or L'eau de Geriatrica as my wife calls it, Shave Cream would be a good choice.

I pm'ed the gentleman who had the soap in a SOTD thread, and the soap is reportedly rebranded Taylor's Sandalwood Soap.

I enjoy the I'coloniali products a great deal, but unfortunately J&E Atkinsons have discontinued both the I'coloniali and Spirit of Africa lines, to be replaced by their new men's line. Their Shaving Creams, which are actually Shaving Soaps, are very good. Very moisturising, with a subtle hint o...

It smells just like Dr Pepper Soda mixed with Jack Daniels, it's definitely a very sweet leather scent, but I really like it. Kind regards, Alex I know a considerably more fun way to achieve that particular scent... You seemed to have reached that conclusion based on the assumption that Cuir Ottoma...

Gordon, I have fond memories of the Arran Vetiver shaving cream, as I've said before I'm much more of a soap person, but that cream was one of the ones that I liked. It was also my first experience of having a favoured product discontinued, if only I knew how far reaching the problem would become. I...

Parfum d'Empire?

I just received a sample of Cuir Ottoman by Parfum d'Empire from The Different Scent, and I must say that I am rather fond of it. I just wanted to know if anyone was familiar with this particular fragrance house and could tell me what their other scents are like.

Kindest regards,
Alex

Arran Aromatics Bay Citrus what's this one like? was thinking of buying it. It's really good. It's on par with the other better known English milled soaps. The Arran Aromatics soap and the Spanish Fig & Nutmeg are both highly underappreciated as far as I'm concerned. They pop up from time to ti...

Grants of Dalvey Shaving Soap

I have always believed that if you couldn't say anything nice, then you shouldn't say anything at all. However, if I was to adhere to that principle when it came to describing this soap, then I wouldn't have much of anything to say at all. I'm not sure if this soap is new to the market, or just new ...

John Duncan Shaving Soap?

I saw this soap listed in an SOTD thread, and seeing as it's not something I've heard of before, I would be most appreciative if someone could furnish me with some more information regarding it (particularly where it can be bought.) Google has been of no help, at least not for me. Kindest regards, A...
