    Anyone care to share their feelings regarding Murray & Lanman Florida Water?

    It's ok. Very short lived probably by minutes. It is available at CVS, Wal-Mart, etc.

    Very light fragrance, not very long lasting, VERY inexpensive, and rather refreshing to me. In the summertime it just seems to go well with a golf cap, hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts and birkenstocks. It is a different sort of fragrance. If you google it, you'll find some interesting uses for it and some words about it's origin. Apparently it has some mystical powers in the field of voodoo . It burns if you use it as an a/s splash, maybe the spices are excising the bad shave demons. Anyway, it's like $3-4, what the hell pick up a bottle and if you don't like it then you haven't lost much. Not very often we get a chance to try something in our hobby so cheaply.

    Scotto,
    More than we needed to know! ARGH! I think we've been here before.
    Now to Murray and Lanman's Florida Water, it is a pleasant citrus (mostly orange) splash. Very light and casual. One thing you will note is that many of the fragrance preps for tropical and semi-tropical areas tend to be light, ergo not especially long-lasting.
    Best regards,

    I personally love this product - I use it almost nightly. A dominant element I detect is cloves. Give it a try. If you don't like it, you're only out $5.
    Take care,

    A good lather is half the shave.

    Scotto,

    Come on...tell us how you really feel!

    I like it for summertime use...very refreshing, in fact, almost cooling. Wal Mart SuperCenters have it for less that $4 bucks, and it's a great buy at that price.

    Actually, the truth be known, it reminds me of Constant Comment Tea..

    It's only two bucks at Pasteur's, so it's not a matter of money. I'm just not interested in trying it if it's swill.

    Well, the difference between swill and swell is an "E for the I." The bottom line is personal preference. Inexpensive doesn't necessarily mean poor; as costly doesn't necessarily mean good.
