First use of Murdock products (early valentine's present) and it's impressive. Scent is very masculine, citrus with a touch of tobacco. No problem with the cream.
Haven't used the Fatip for a while now but no problems although I had to concentrate as it is not forgiving. Slight irritation on the neck but that went with the ASB.
Skin feels a little tight afterwards, not sure what that is because it doesn't feel dry or uncomfortable. It may be the cream or the ASB; I'll need to investigate more.
Murdock is probably the most expensive cream I've used, is it worth it? Well, the scent is great but the performance is on par with TOBS, T&H and NSS. I still prefer NSS Down Home Summer and Vanilla though, it'd take a lot to beat those.
I must say that I do feel expensive this morning; which is nice.
