Rik, very nice acquisition. Very nice scent. Unfortunately, isn't Havana discontinued?

Unfortunately so. It's getting much harder to come by.Austin said:
Wow, Alexander (LX_Emergency) really came through for me! I had offered to buy a MB soap for him in exchange for his Dragon's Blood (he wanted to try something else and I was making an order, so I tacked it on). Well, the Dragon's Blood came today - but he also included some Palmolive and some other shaving soap! (pictures coming). Truly a stand-up guy, who sent the stuff off while on his honeymoon. I don't know what his SWMBO thought of it, but it was definitely a gesture that I appreciated.
[EDIT] Here's the photo. LX is on his honeymoon - can anyone else identify the soap in the middle? I just lathered some up; it smells nice. Very mild soapy smell.

Not from the Netherlands, just travelling there on business (which is the reason for the delay in responding to you).
The recommendations for the Vergulden Hand products came from a few members on the site. I've only had the chance to try the a/s balm, which I think is a great value at only 3 Euro per tube.
The recommendation for the Van Gils came from the cute woman in the perfume store
- seroiously though, the stuff smelled pretty good and my understanding is that its hard to get outside of the Netherlands, which made buying some seem like a good idea.rossination said:Wow, Alexander (LX_Emergency) really came through for me!

The soap in the middle is the der Verguilde Hand brand that is a drugstore staple throughout the Netherlands (I only know this due to the friendly advice of some of the Dutch members of the forum).
I bought the A/S balm and shaving cream - the stuff is quite a good buy for the $$ - I think the tub of soap is only about 2 - 3 Euros and is only available in the Netherlands.
Simpson "Ranger" brush - does anyone know anythin about this model?

- QED Vetiver Shave Stick
- QED Lemon & Cedarwood Shave Stick
- Gillette Menthol Shave Cream
- Gillette Lemon-lime Shave Cream
For real vetiver lovers, this QED shaving soap is nirvana. Used it this AM and all I can say is WOW!.
The Gillette shaving creams, out of SWA, are compliments of Kujo. Thanks for helping to keep it exciting.

Ron, those 2 Gillette creams are made in Lebanon. I know of a store here in Montreal which carries them as well. I tried the menthol one, which lathers great, and leaves me with a very cool face, but I don't care for the scent, the lemon-lime one, well that one also lathers great, but there's too much of a lemon-lime scent! That's my opinion, you might love them both.

Right your are in Southwest Asia. (aka Middle East).. I sniffed the lemon-lime and it smelled smokey. After the vetiver shave this AM, everything smells smokey.. I made it even more so by spritzing on some L'Occitane Vetiver edt on... Whoo hoo!crackstar said:
