Tuesday morning.....

100% irritation-free shave. Very close and smooth as glass.
After using the Taylor's sandalwood edt for the 4th time now I've decided that I much prefer the Trumper's version but the Taylor's is not that bad.

Have a great day and a great shave.

Wonderful shave today. My T&H order arrived on Monday, and I can't say enough about the shave creme. The sample I received was good, and this tub is even better.

I cannot believe the copious lather this stuff generates. I keep cutting back on the amount I use. Today, I used a peanut-sized amount and had enough for three passes, with a fully loaded brush at the end. It provides the right amount of protection, too.

Also, it is not so strongly scented that I can't use it with any cologne/EDT.

Trumper Sandalwood has always held my top spot: that may be changing.

Guys, I don't think I've had a more enjoyable, pleasurable shave than this in the last 3 months. It went so great. I lathered myself up slowly, thoroughly, and I shaved slowly to make sure I got maximum enjoyment.

I took such a wonderful shave this morning, I'm so proud of myself! I think that Gold-Dachs Spezial soap is amazing stuff, it gives terrific lather, it's soothing, it smells nice, and what's more is 9 or 10 swirls of your brush gives enough lather for 2 men to shave. This soap is to die for!

SWMBO (therefore meaning I) really likes it. As a little history, I have collected all of their (T&H) fragrances that have a matching shave cream, so I found I needed one for almond. I decided on Freshman. Complex, but not too heavy, a delightful fragrance.:001_tongu

Greetings Jeff,
It is available through the Nancy Boy web site (http://www.nancyboy.com/home.php) and on a walk-in basis if you live in the SanFrancisco area at 2319 Market St, San Francisco 94114.
There are two sizes of shave cream, Regular (http://www.nancyboy.com/product.php?productid=16267&cat=253&page=1) and Travel Size (http://www.nancyboy.com/product.php?productid=16307&cat=253&page=1). If you choose to join the Nancy Boy Club, in essence accept an occasional (once a month) bit of Nancy Boy e-advertising, you can save 15% on your products.. Otherwise $16 and $5 respectively.:huh:

Scotto, I might just buy Nancy Boy shaving cream, do you think it's good?

Jeff, I might be able to set you up with a tub. I am doing a comparison between two of them (one potentially damaged by shipping), and if I don't see a difference between them, you can have one.
