- Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse - Soap
- Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse - Aftershave
The label of this soap has both brands displayed.
Weinstrasse is a great scent! Milksteak is decent.
I have two Weinstrasse aftershaves at the moment. One is Chatillon Lux and the other is Declaration Grooming. I got the Dec used, and the previous owner must have dumped the entire bottle of menthol in, and it's too much for me. The Chatillon Lux one is also too much menthol for me. Menthol--
I didn't use any alum, because I don't own any. I'm sure it's a nice ritual for people, but rubbing something on my face that requires a complete rinse when I'm done leads me to believe that maybe it's not a good idea. Soap mostly rinses off, but the remaining stuff isn't bad (sometimes it's just the skin food left over). Aftershave is a leave-on product. Alum is an "apply and immediately remove" product.
