SOTD "Chocolate or Rose Soaps/Creams" Theme Week 3-9 Feb 2014

Welcome to another week, Gentlemen. This week, with Valentine's Day on the horizon, we're kicking off February with chocolate or rose scented creams and soaps. Break them out. Better yet, takes photos and head over to the Item of the Week thread and tell us all about them. Help us gain insight on which ones we may want to pick up or avoid. For me, that means breaking out TOBS Rose shave cream. Now, I'm really a soap guy, so this is digging into the vault. It was good enough that I may need to revisit the creams more often.

Sorry no Chocolate or roses but soon

I just happened to have some leftover T&H Rose shaving cream. It has a pronounced rose scent, and lathers up quite well. Today I tried my third fragrance from the gift set: Cuba Orange. Floral and a bit spicy, not a bad pairing with the rose.
