Good Sandalwood AS?

**jay67212** · 08-10-2012, 12:49 PM

Hey B&B'ers! I was wondering the group's thoughts on a good Sandalwood AS or ASB? Maybe a cologne? I know there's a cologne category, but I figure I'd throw it out there!

Thanks!

Not a common one, but I enjoy the Haslinger sandalwood AS balm. Scent is not overpowering, and the balm is not greasy, with just the right amount of soothing relief.

I believe it was procured from Royal Shave.

D R Harris Sandalwood AS. Fantastic!

I have the AOS Sandalwood ASB and I think it's amazing.

At $40 per bottle it's pretty pricey, but it'll last 6 months even with every day use.

Although it's an EDT RR Sandalwood is great! In fact it ROCKS!

EJ/Muhle Sandalwood is the best balm for me.

Great advice--really excellent stuff. SCS also makes a fine and reasonably priced AS.

Agreed.

I have their full kit that I intend to sell as soon as my post count allows. (I'm lazy - I shave and splash on some Clubman. No time for the pre-shave oil and balm afterwards)

My favorite Sandalwood Balm is Saint Charles Shave. Only in the $11.00 to $15.00 price range for 4OZ.

Define "good". It's a very subjective word. Are you looking for straight sandalwood or are you more flexible in what you're looking for? I mean, my favorite AS is DRH's Sandalwood but it's certainly not just sandalwood.

+1 AOS Sandalwood ASB

Thanks!

The various notes in "sandalwood" vary so much that I would sincerely recommend you start by sampling.

Thanks for the advice fellow shavers! I think I'll start hunting for some deals. I usually get samples from Garrys, so I may give him a shout.

Is the AOS balm identical or very similar to the cream scent wise? It's by far my favorite sandalwood.

**RichieRich3902** · 08-13-2012, 12:56 PM

There is a lot of love around here for DR Harris Sandalwood.

I have both and yes. It's my favorite as well and my go-to soap atm.

Awesome, thanks. I'll have to treat myself to some!

You must try either Muhle or Edwin Jagger sandalwood AFB. There is no better in my experience. They are probably sourced by the same manufacturer, but here in the USA the Edwin Jagger is less expensive. One squirt (1mil) is enough for your whole face. Very luxurious, rich and authentic sandalwood.

I'm gonna have to take you up on that. I'm always interested in new Sandalwood AS. It seems I'm going to have to try DRH as well. Although I'd really like to try a good Sandalwood AS splash.
