What to buy – HELP WANTED.

[Lipsy]

My delivery arrived this morning.

It's all good, so thanks for the advice/thoughts.

Need to make room for some Nanny's, some of Henk's assorted goodness and something from Fido… Not sure that I am in a super-rush, but I have a list! What about that Aqua Velva – worth a punt before time runs out on the group buy?

Thinking of picking up a Feather portable (some sort of travel razor is going to be required), and then – I guess – it'll be time to try out some other razors.

Nice one, peeps.

The Proraso AS splash is a good skin conditioner and is pretty close to scent free, it's fleeting at best.
It's a staple in my bathroom cabinet.

Enjoy.

 

[Lipsy]

Aye, I wanted something that wouldn't hang around – especially as I have been shaving in the evening. Proraso A/S seems perfect for that.

What's the Speick cologne like? Am liking the whiff of the A/S...

As far as Im aware the Speick Cologne is a classic Eau de Cologne Scent.

It is not the same as the AS as the AS is from the "Speick Men" range.

 

[Lipsy]

Yeah, I noticed that… Seems a bit odd not to follow the range on with a cologne.

I'd quite like a longer-lasting version of the "men" AS.

Oh well, the search continues.

Yes.

I can't think of anything better, really.

Coombes (or Williams) is/are missing a trick by not having UK distributors, I reckon.

Vinny speaks the truth. Aqua Velva is very nice, and I have recently used up a sample of the Floid blue a/s, which also worked well. The scent of these is quite fleeting, with the Floid hanging around for the briefest of time.

In my opinion, both the AV and the Floid smell better than Proraso.

[Lipsy]

So AV is pretty fleeting, then?

So AV is pretty fleeting, then?

On me, yes. Barely detectable after about 60-90 mins

Well, having bought a couple of A/S's then it's probably not worth getting in on the group buy, then.

I'm kind of after something that'll linger, so I probably ought to get myself a cologne. That said, I am tempted...

Decisions, decisions… Clock ticking, and all that.
