Finished.!!

Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel.

Well, I've decanted the remaining off into a small bottle stored in the bathroom manbinet.
Great stuff, use it every shave prior to AS. Cucumber scent is brief and refreshing; anymuch more is unnecessary.

No need to panic though as I have the rose and lavender versions flying my way.

In the last couple of weeks I've finished off:

Krampert's Bay Rum Arcadian Spice
Jabonman Eastern Breeze soap
CRSW Bergamot & Bay soap

I think CRSW Oliva is next on the hit list, or maybe Jabonman Tobacco.

That's a lot to finish off! Are you rotating soaps which could cause a mass finishing all at once? This is my prediction of my soaps but it still seems some years off yet.
Will you be buying these soaps again?

The Krampert's is the after shave rather than the soap (which unfortunately irritated my skin, I was gutted about that as it smelt just like the ASL and provided a great shave) and I'd been using it 90% of the time since I received it for Christmas. Both the Jabonman and CRSW were near the bottom of the tin so with concerted use of some big brushes it wasn't that hard to finish both off in 2 or 3 weeks.

Come Autumn / Winter I'll be getting some more Krampert's ASL for sure. Hopefully it'll be available in the EU by then. I'll also be getting some more CRSW, but I'll try some of the other scents. I also have the Puro Fresco which is very different to most scents I like but its good to experiment and all the CRSW scents I've tried have been good (unlike many US soap these are sophisticated and don't come in flavours like Key Lime Pie or Pina Colada or Chocolate cookies or other food based smells!) I really like Bergamot & Bay and would happily buy again but I'd like to try some of the others first. The same is true for the Jabonman. I've currently got a tin of Tobacco which is great and next on the list will probably be Gea or Sierra if it makes a return. Ideally I'd like one scent of the following soaps:

Nannys (a special exception two scents: Moroccan Sands & Rose Geranium)
Jabonman
CRSW
Micky Lee SW
Bowtie
C&S No88
Phoenix & Beau (currently Spitfire)
and maybe a Barrister & Mann if I can find a scent that I don't find weird.
 
Finished a tube of erasmic cream today. Only 75ml so didn't take too long. I'm sure I'll get another tube once I've worked through some other soaps. Seems a good size to take on holiday.

Razorock XXX is up next
 
Proraso white (sensitive) pre-shave cream.

It's taken a couple of years (rotated with other pre-shaves) but I've finally finished this tub. Will I buy it again? Well probably not (never say never). I'm still not sure if it really makes anymuch difference to the shave. It's just pleasant to apply after showering and left on while I get my shave stuff ready. I think it stops my skin drying off.
I like the mildly menthol effect it has (much better than the slap-in-the-face green Proraso pre-shave) but I prefer the Proraso sandalwood pre-shave. That's scent is subtle enough that it doesn't interfere with any soap's scent. I don't see me stop using the sandalwood version anytime soon.
