Re: Montale Red Vetyver, 100ml

Sam, how would you compare The Montale to Creed original vetiver? I keep looking at it but never seem to be able to pull the trigger, what about it do you not like? I may be wrong but, isn't this like your second or third round with this scent?

Re: Kai double edge blades

Re: You only get two razors; which & why

I could trim down to 1 if I had to and that would be my slim adj which I have been using for the last few years, if I had to have a back up my first choice would be another slim adj, but if a different type is required it would be my sticky.

I would think if any shipping company x-ray's the package with the hone in the tube they would assume pipe bomb, I know it's a hone, you know it's a hone. GLWTS

Re: In Praise of the Kent BK4

Greg, You will be in for a pleasant surprise when you try the bk4 with soap, at first glance it would seem to be a dud with soap but in fact, it is a great performer. I love mine, have had it for years.

Re: Coate's Tea Tree, Sandalwood, Lime, Rose, Almond & Laven

Had my first shave with Lavender tonight (THANKS ANDY!!!)

Although not a Lavender fan, I must say this was and is one fine cream.

Anyone holding back, don't! The cream is in perfect condition.

Gary, It is a sine soap for sure, in my top three, and the scent is enjoyable, not in the league of Pen's EF but nothing else is either.
