Soap: A&E Monte Carlo
Post: A&E Uno Splash

Another extremely smooth shave, but with respect and care gave me bbs glass. The 1.25 works as a daily with no issues and also takes care of many unshaven days with just as much ease, this is the one!!

still very happy with the badger but anticipate there is a lot better to come

Hey Stratman what is your opinion of the A&E soaps do they lather well?? Slick? Leave a nice feeling?? I was looking at A&E St Barts but couldn’t find any reviews??

hey mate... i find A&E to be an excellent soap, top tier. has excellent post shave feel and super smooth and easy to lather

i have Grecian Horse, Uno, Vanille de Tabac in my collection atm and out of those i love them all. One thing i have found about A&E is their smells are all good, some just better than others so you cant really go wrong, if you hear something that sounds good you will like it.. i have never smelt St Barts personally but if you like cologne type scents you will love Uno or Grecian horse, there amazing to my nose

@tim33z is a recent convert to A&E i believe

@Schmicko this is true - i only have a few A&E soaps but you will not go wrong with a tub of anything!
Jump onto The Stray Whisker and grab whatever takes your fancy. I can personally recommend Asian Pear...
