I'm only saying it is kinda limey to me, whether it's lemon or lime, it is a favorite of mine.Straight Arrow wrote:I always thought that JM Fraser had a lemony scent. Derby regular as well. Am I off-base on this? I love them both.
Lemon shaving creams --- Which one?

Squire, I did have a tube of Arko Citrus a while back, and can affirm that it has a delightful fragrance. I see that Arko also makes a Lemon variety, which I would be interested in trying too.Squire wrote:May as well toss Arko Citrus into this thread. You can pick out a lemon scent in if you are looking for it though it has other stuff in there as well.

Lemon is the one scent I don't seem to have and Razorock's offering has been on my want list for a while. Taylors lemon-lime is okay but not the lemon scent I would like. I've tried the AoS lemon soap which seemed to have little scent to it. I have an unused stick of Arko somewhere but the last time I used it my wife thought it smelled like toilet bowl cleaner and I donated it to someone. I kind of liked it so maybe I should dig it out and try it again as I recall the performance as being very good.

Through all of this thought process I've ended up with a few incoming lemony parcels. I'll go through them over time, and will surely have some fun and will hopefully make some new discoveries along the way.

This Arko is good shaving cream. One of my packages was both the Lemon and the Citrus. Gary at Shoebox had a good sale price on it, and I'm very happy with it. About 3 years ago I had a tube of Citrus, and had forgotten how delicious it smells.Squire wrote:May as well toss Arko Citrus into this thread.

Today was the first shave with Palmolive Lemon. I'm going to take a while to work my way back around to the few Lemon products I've gathered, so I can get a better handle on which one(s) work best for me.
They're all relatively inexpensive, there's New York, RazoRock Caprician, Derby, Arko Lemon and Citrus versions, and Palmolive. Looks like AOS might have to wait until later, depending on how well I take to any or all of the above.

Well, I just picked up a new tub of AOS Lemon at a great price here on the Selling and Trading forum. Just goes to show it pays to wait. I'm looking forward to diving into all of these lemon goodies when the time comes around in a few weeks.

That's a good question. I think I probably should, I've had the Cedarwood and the Lavender. Loved the CW, not so much the Lavender.

That can be made as a shaving cream if you prefer.brucered wrote:Gingers Garden makes a glycerin soap, but it sounds like you want a cream.
