Hey folks, looking for a little advice -
Looks like I'm going to get through GRU-Christmas successfully, and am thinking about getting myself a treat. It was going to be MdC, but now I'm not so sure. I have Catie's Bubbles LPV and several pucks of Tiki, which I've read are pretty close in performance. Quite frankly, I like B&M, MWF and Haslinger Schafmilch much better, particularly the post-shave feel (Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood is not too far behind). I'm thinking it might be the tallow/lanolin thing.
So, is MdC's performance that much better? And the fougere or the unscented? I'm willing to plunk down the cheddar for it; after all, it is Christmas! But I'm also looking at some alternatives: more Haslinger, Gillette 7OC Permasharps, Mike's Hungarian Lavender.
I know it's YMMV, but I'd be thankful for anyone who's willing to share their thoughts.
Thanks!
