RE:
I don't rate the Maca Root products but it's a start!
If I were you, my first step would be to visit the Truefitt & Hill and Geo F Trumpers websites and buy sample packs from each so you can get a sniff of the scents and try out the creams. The sample packs will last you a few weeks so you'll have plenty of time to decide if you like it or not. You'll also get some nice colognes to try out and even if you don't initially want to go that way with your shaving, they are great gift ideas to give people if you want to increase your collection of smellies.
You can also get samples from D R Harris but they are individual pots of cream rather than complete packs so buy a sample pot of both Windsor and Arlington shave creams
. Taylor of Old Bond Street (along with Truefitt and Trumpers) are 'the 3 T's' so are the leaders of the pack but it's harder to find TOBS samples.
The only thing I've never got into is pre-shave. I'm mad about post-shave balms etc. but pre-shave for me is just an exfoliating wash, any old wash will do so don't be afraid to seek bargains from the 'teenage spot wash' aisle in supermarkets :icon_razz:
Then unfortunately it's a slippery slope of buying everything to 'give it a try'. Welcome to our World! It's a good world though and full of friendly advice.
Oh and inform anybody who is unsure about the use of Badger hair that the hair is sourced from the Far East where Badgers are eaten so the hair is a by-product.
