I enjoy hearing about all of your opinions when it comes to different products, so I will add my two cents about a company that I really love - Caswell Massey
http://www.caswellmassey.com/ I have no relationship with this company other than being a very satisfied customer.
When I entered the corporate world at age 22 and had to start shaving my face every day, I started to get some bad irritation on my neck. One of my older, wise coworkers told me that I needed to start shaving in the shower and to try using a high quality shaving cream, like those made by Caswell Massey. I took his advice and used their shaving cream for the next 11 years with very good results. When I went sly almost two months ago, I tried out even more of their products and have now become an even bigger fan.
Caswell Massey is an amazing American company with a very rich history. They are also one of the oldest retailers in the world. The company is kind of a throw back to the old barber shop days and their scents have this same great, classic feel.
I have tried all their shaving creams and have settled on the Greenbriar Line – my favorite scent. When I shave the dome I make a super lather with their Greenbriar Shaving Soap, Greenbriar Shaving Cream and a few pumps of pure glycerin. I have had amazing results since day one. The last step in my routine is to splash some of the Greenbriar After Shave on my face and dome for a great scent that isn’t as overpowering as cologne. I get lots of compliments from the ladies too. Although I haven’t gotten to try many of the other scents, I am sure they are great too.
As I’ve read the boards here I am very surprised the company does come up more; a search barely returns a thing. I guess the fact that the products are fairly pricey is a big factor, but I think they are well worth it. If you are looking to try out some great products from a great company, I highly recommend you treat yourself to something from Caswell Massey.
