Olivia Shave Cream

[TraderJoe]

Looking to hear from those who have used Olivia's products, and what scents you enjoyed from her. If you haven't tried her "ALL NATURAL" shave creams, you are missing out! ;)

I'd like to add a few more of her creams to my stock, here's what I know I like:

King Kong
Sandalwood
Churchill
Oakmoss

What scents were good, but I didn't care for:

Bay Rum
Amber

It looks like she has some new scents, or I should say scents that I'm unfamiliar with:

Champion
Aquarius
Natur
Wet Lizzi
Marrakesh
Kokos
Frangipani
Mandel

Any help with this would be appreciated :D

Joe, my bro, I had the bay rum, oakmoss, and Churchill creams, which I think are the bomb. I have at present, the Chill Out, which seems to be a soap, with a great lather, and a hell of a nice scent. This Chill Out stuff lathers more like a cream.

Ahh, yes the Chill Out, I think I'll be getting that for sure.

Is yours in a tub? Mine too, its what she calls a "semi-solid shave cream". So it is a cream, but its very dense, and it lathers better than the best of 'em :happy088

Not to mention, it gives my skin new life :D

my Chill Out was sent to me in a small black tub, which was a trade for Proraso, and Florena. The feller who sent it to me also received it in trade! :rofl :rofl

[Mottern Man]

I like her cream (amber)

But way too hard for me to work a lather.

[moses]

I have no problem lathering this stuff. I lather on my face. Good stuff. I love the Oakmoss. The Bay Rum smells nice, a little sweet for me. But mostly it burns like hell fire on my face..... Need to trade that one along...

[moviemaniac]

I had three of 'em, the Oakmoss, the BayRum and the RollingStone. I didn't care for the scent of the first two so I traded them off but the Rolling stone is definitely a keeper, always gives me great shaves :D

Great question! Hopefully we'll find out soon :drool

[Mottern Man]

With all this talk I may have to re,re try her cream.

Swirl that pup like you would a soap before you go to the face, and add hot water as needed ;)

I don't have a jar no more

I do have a small sample left. I may just order another, I can always sell it like I have been, unless some one has some to sell me.

TJ, you don't happen to have the old formula of Churchill do you?

[TraderJoe]

TJ, you don't happen to have the old formula of Churchill do you?

I'm using the one you sent me :cool:

[Mottern Man]

I'm using the one you sent me :cool:

Their is a reason, I gave it to you.:rofl

[qhsdoitall]

Would I go wrong with?

Sandalwood
Chill Out

[TraderJoe]

Would I go wrong with?

Sandalwood
Chill Out

Sounds good to me ;)

I wonder if a group buy is in order here? :D

Rich, if you're going to pop her an email, would you mind asking if it would save us fellas some money to do it in bulk?

I don't have a problem doing that but is there someone here that has dealt with her before? I've never ordered from Olivia. She might be more inclined to do a group thing with someone she is familiar with.

While I've gotten all my Olivia stuff "second-hand", I'd be glad to put this together.....but I should say that 'ol Doc has a way with women :happy001 ....if he's not up to it, I will put something together

[Mottern Man]

We do have some members here that speak in her native toung, may be more helpfull in this matter. However I am game. :D

Olivia's one helluva lady to deal with - just like all "our" Sues are. She also offers an English version of her page and she's quite fluent in English. :cool:

Sorry. Carry on.

:signs081...hey! :o I'm innocent I tell ya! ::angelic004

[jramire2]

Count me in if you do an olivia bulk order. I've tried her Amber, Churchhill and Oakmoss.

Just traded the churchill for some bayrum from Moses. But I'm interested in trying her bamboo, cedar and chai tea.

I know Rolling Stone and Oak Moss. Rolling Stone is definitely a winner and Oak moss is for me a little low on scent. But it lathers like mad. Some swirls on the cream and you get such an amount of lather it is way too much for a three pass shave.

I don't know the other scents. But what i know Wet Lizzi is a lemon scent. Frangipiani is quite flowery.

The best of all. If you like the descrition of any soap in her website and can't find it with the shaving stuff you can ask her to make the cream with the scent you like.

[crackstar]

Willkommen, Herzi! Es freue mich sehr ein Freund aus Europa hier zu treffen! Guys, I just used the Chill Out stuff this morning, and I really enjoyed it. It sure doesn't take much to get it lathering, and it gives the skin a very pleasant tingling feeling. I wish I knew how to describe the scent of it.

[herzi]

I had Chill Out as a shaving soap. I scent really wasn't my favourite. A lot of roses in. I prefer others.

@crackstar:
Thanks for your welcome.

[qhsdoitall]

Welcome Herzi!

Did we decide if we are doing a group buy? If not, then I'm going to review the suggestions you guys have been listing and send her an email. I may have to name drop though. Who's name can I use that won't get me in trouble? :D

Has anyone noticed that olivias now selling ARKO products.

They're a bit high, at 3 Euro/tube or around $4US, but it might be in line w/what our European counterparts are usually paying.

I only have experience w/her creams, and I've read about her soaps.
If anyones familiar w/them, how long do they tend to last? I don't know if these will last more like a glycerin soap, or more like a triple mill?

At this point I'd be more apt to getting some of her soaps than creams. I've got so much cream I'm afraid some of it will go bad before I get to it, so IF (and it's a big if) I make any more buys it's going to be for soaps.

Still though, let me know if a group buy ever gets put together for her stuff.

[Xert]

Indeed, I would be similarly interested.
