    Carl, What does musgo smell like, I found that I didn't like thr smell of tabac aftershave, hard to put my finger on, exactly, it seemed to have a lot going on, or I just used way too much.

    Yea, nothing like practicing making lather when you are not actually shaving to try and get the hang of it. Personally I can't see having 12 hours worth of stubble or 3 days worth making any difference. You are just cutting hair no matter how long it is. I mean cutting a 1 foot long piece of rope requires no more effort than cutting the same rope that is 10 feet long. OTH I could be wrong.

    I find the later in the day I shave the harder the beard so need to soften my beard more, I don't think rope shares this characteristic.. I may be wrong though

    Straight razor shaving is like motorcycling both require full attention and continuos learning and honing of skills...

    Musgo Real Classic is very strong; one of the strongest creams I've used. It's a 'powdery' scent, but not in a 'light' way. It's hard to describe. Musgo Real make a bunch of different scented creams, I've only tried Orange Amber and the Classic. If you like a lighter scent, Orange Amber is nice.

    Powdery like talc? I think the tabac sort of reminded me of barber shops and old men, but like I say did use a goodly splash, it was a sample bottle in the chemist so I think I went to town. The cussons that i have smells kind of soapy in a nice way I like that for everyday. But I also have a sandalwood cologne which is quite powerful and I like that too. Does the orange amber smell orangy? I like my lime cream a lot and am thinking of getting thr matching edt, its nice and fresh smelling.

    Yeah, a little like talc, but STRONG. The Orange Amber does smell like citrus, it's a nice scent for Spring. In regards to lather, Musgo Real creams lather themselves...

    I got mine from Men'sBiz (online store). They're good, fast, and you get a free sample with all orders. Men'sBiz and Himage are two good Australian stores as far as I'm concerned...

    Himage has free delivery.

    cheers carl, I will check them out. I understand what himage are doing vis-a-vis their name, but I still find it off puting, but I really don't understand why.

    Righty ho, men'sbiz has the musgo range, himage doesn't, and they also seem pricey.
    How does musgo compare to body shop maca root or Crabtree and Evelyn creams? I have fauldings too, but that is not as good as these so I will exclude it. Not scent wise obviously, but in other aspects.
