Favorite Pairings???

Gents,

My favorite soap/cream pairings are below...what are yours...odd or otherwise? These are in no particular order:

1. Martin De Candre Fougere soap with Sebum Blue postshave serum

2. I coloniali Mango soap with Hemingway Accoutrements aftershave

3. Castle Forbes Lime Cream with Sebum Lime postshave serum

4. Santa Maria Novella cream with the matching Santa Maria Novella Tobacco Toscano aftershave

5. Ralph Lauren Safari soap with the matching Ralph Lauren Safari aftershave

6. Nuavia Blu or Simpson Bay Rum cream with Small Batch Shave Tonic aftershave

7. RazoRock P.160 Soap with Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet aftershave

8. Any of the Stirling soaps and matching aftershave...I particularly like Sharp Dressed Man, Executive Man, Iced Pineapple, and their Almond sets.

9. Art of Shaving Sandalwood (tallow) with anything...pretty soft fragrance that doesn’t intrude upon other aftershave products

Well, I rotate those around, soaps & A/S's, and have never thought of pairings  .. with all the software I've managed to accumulate it would likely be a fool's errand here.   But, signing into the thread to see if someone can change my mind, or likelier put confusion there

Matt, try the SMN body cream as an AS balm. It’s balm consistency and has the tobacco toscano scent which hangs around a little while. And it’s 250ml.

MdC agrumes - Myrsol limon
MdC original - Myrsol Agua Balsamica
MdC fougere - Floris 89 balm (works with Floris 89 cream too!)
SMN cream - SMN body cream, ABC tobacco verte should also work (only had a sample so far)
MdC Rose - Thayers Rose Petal, D. R. Harris Pink, or occasionally Myrsol Plastic
Any almond soap/cream - ABC almond balm
New AdP Colonia - AdP Colonia balm of course

I have heard that before! I may have to try it. Thanks Steve!

I only use an essential oil mix of Vetiver/Bergamot, so it has to go well with all of my scented soaps.
Nonetheless, it does go particularly well with Mystic Water's Vetiver/Oakmoss and Bergamot/Cedar/Juniper.

Two of my favorites:
I Coloniali - Alt Innsbruck
Vintage Williams - Floïd Blue

• Tabac soap and Alt Innsbruck Aftershave/Cologne
• Stirling Ozark Mountain and Caron Yatagan
• Phoenix and Beau Spitfire and Boellis Panama 1924
• APR Fougere Bourbon Rose and matching A/S or EDP
  

Gents,

I have never used alt innsbruck...I will have to try it!

I like to pair Alt Innsbruck with D R Harris Marlborough
MDC Vetiver with Guerlain Vetiver
MDC Fougere....still looking, no favorites
Vintage Williams with Spanish Aqua Velva
MWF with vintage Dominica Bay Rum
Boellis Panama 1924 with Panama 1924 aftershave
LPL Oud Neroli with the same aftershave

Sometimes it's just a splash of Humphries Organic Witch Hazel, and some Nivea sensitive balm and good to go.
