What soap/cream did you use today?

Grooming Dept Mallard Coconut Rum

Glenn, I've had a reaction with every GD soap I've tried and so avoid them but this one had me curious. How's the scent ?

Dave,

I made a joke on a different forum in anticipation of receiving this soap--to the effect that I was worried that it might smell like one of those Hawaiian Tropic suntan oils or like one of those cheap rum drinks they hand out on a Carnival Cruise. The funny thing is that it ended up smelling like a rum cocktail only one made with higher quality ingredients which is a darn good thing since I couldn't stand that Carnival Cruise I went on. This soap therefore smells pretty much like its Coconut Rum name and I enjoyed it. I am still feeling the nice face feel nearly 20 hours post shave.

All that said, why would you even think about trying another GD soap if you have not had any luck with any of them? Say the word via PM and I will send you a sample.

After trying 6 and not getting along with them I gave up but that one caught my attention in the artwork and scent description.........I'm a glutton for punishment sometimes I guess......

LVS today. Whipped up with a Teton brush. No to be outdone by TommyCarioca

Hey, I know that brush!  And LVS smells awesome.

Penhaligon's Castile shaving cream (vintage)

Talbot/Maol Island in the Sun….Honestly…their latest v3 base wasn’t all that great…but the scent…for me…is one of my favorites…I use Ethos pre-shave to give it some extra punch…

It pretty damn spectacular - by far best GD soap ever used (even surpassing Nai).  Unlike prior Mallards this one rinses clean without residual. The Almond Vanilla also quite good.

Text me your address and will have samples sent out by SO Monday. (7705974646). Having some neurological issues so can't promise being able to check DFS. It worth your time; best GD to date
