Mixing Scents

<< < (2/2)

Sir Harry:
When I mix scents, it's usually Shave Secret+Tea Tree+either Razor Rock Shaving Soap or Headslick. Either way I get a very nice lather that lasts and you only need a few drops of each mixed with a wet brush (preferably hot water)

Both Clubman and Bay Rum are strong scents, but neither has ever clashed with my Old Spice "Classic" (original scent) deodorant.

--- End quote ---
"Basic Dial Soap" contains a high level of Aluminium Chlorhydrate which is the deodorizing part. It's also very drying on your skin. Given the many other brands available that fall in the "basic" soap category you might wish to consider a switch. Just make sure that they are free from Al.Clor.

If you like the scent of Captains Choice, then you might like a the Captains Choice croap from Razorock.  I like the captain, but it wears off too quick - I found that TOBS bay rum hangs around a lot longer.  Pinaud  bay rum is also a nice choice.  But be warned, if you decide to go to the dark side and get Cat-o-9-tails and you have any weepers from your shave, well - think about the shaving scene in Home Alone - it'll definitely wake you up!

If you're looking for a "old spice" type of scent cream, I would suggest something like Trufitt & Hill Grafton (in my top 5 for sure).

You can also get sampler sets from T&H, Stirling Soaps and many other manufacturers so you can find something you like.

Another one that is nice and cheap is C.O. Bigelow - you can get that at a local Bath and Body works and it's fairly cheap (around $10 a tube).  I mix C.O. with Yeti Snot and it freezes the face for sure :)
