But the thing is, I really like the OSP Neroli soap and Aftershave tonic.

How interesting. Might be the vector which carries the scent. The perfume oils don't have the same amount of volatiles as the aftershave tonic. The soap will be right up to your schnoz when smelling it so that'll probably be the main difference. Also the fact that the OSP stuff is likely unadulterated neroli whereas the mr perfume probably has other bits and bobs in it!

You are my go to man re scents! It could be that after a lifetime of sinus problems, I can't do subtle.

That could potentially have an effect! I've always since being a young chap gone into Debenhams or boots and tried out a different scent each time I've visited. If I don't like it then it's not on my list and will only last a day anyway. You get a good feel for what scents might suit better and which ones ultimately don't work with you.

Way too many tubes. My facial scrub as at an end so I thought I would look at creightons to see what they had to offer. Free delivery over £15 ....so rather than waste almost £4....I just added to the basket!

3 x Groomed Shave Cream
3 x Groomed Face Scrub
2 x Groomed post shave Balm
2 x Groomed SPF15 Moisturiser

MS - Extra Density 2 Band 100% Finest Badger Memphis / 26mm - eBay

I've had this for about a month now but didn't want to comment until I'd used it a few times. This brush actually reversed my thoughts (that I wouldn't buy another badger) due to all the discussions about the MS brushes.

It's bloomed a little but I must say that it was extra soft right from the get-go. I don't usually like badgers because to me they feel like a mop but this one being so dense felt completely different. In fact doesn't feel like a brush at all, more like a dense sponge. It is very soft on the face but I feel I miss the brush-like feel and get the wall-of-badger feel instead. So my verdict so far (10 shaves in) is that I prefer it to my past badgers but is in a different category to my synthetic, boar and horse brushes. They all are different and I like them all for their differences; much like my razors really.

A tub of Dove Men+Care shave cream, thanks to the generous PIF from @ajc347 (it's a really hefty tub!) and a much smaller tub of Gentleman's Face Care Club shave cream (it's my 3rd...) as it was on offer on their site for a mere £3.99, postage included! :O

Picked up some Nivea 2in1 lotion while shopping.

Pleasant smell and I couldn't resist after seeing it pop up on shave of the day so much.

Received some BBA post shave balm today from Emma for contributing to the new newbie box.

Extremely impressed with the professional presentation.
