    Default Yea, My First Cream Order Came Today!!

    For $43 shipped I got a tub of Proraso, TOBS Almond, Rose, & Mr. Taylor. I opened the tubs of them all to give them all a big ol' whiff. The Proraso smells just like the tubed stuff :), the Almond smells like Almond...very very sweet Almond, the Rose...I'm not sure yet, didn't think it smelled very rosey. Mr. Taylor smelled like a nice cologne fragrance that was pretty light.

    Can't wait to use them. Now, which one to pick first....kinda leaning toward almond, but I'm not sure yet.

    I'd go with the Mr Taylor, but I'm biased. I've bought two tubs and the aftershave.

    Sounds like you got some good stuff to try out!!! Enjoy! I have the TOBS rose, and I absolutely love it. It's a great cream, but like everything...YMMV.

    Congrats. I am a hugh fan of the rose. It is mild which I prefer. Gets my mind set in the proper attitude with each morning shave. Enjoy your stach.

    Thanks everyone,

    I just got done using the TOBS Rose for this evenings shave. Wow, what a cream. It is very silk-like...just smooth, slippery, and cushion-y. Nary a burn to be found and darn smooth all over.

    I like....I like...
