I preordered and just received shipping notice for Mike's Lily of the Valley shaving soap. I would appreciate advice as to what aftershave to pair this soap. Thank you.

Good question John. I am interested in this too as I also have Mike's LOTV on the way.

johnz3333 , I'm thinking certain floral scents will be good but I'm also thinking some fougere/wood type scents will work as well. I have Mystic Water LofV and I'm assuming Mike's will be close. Also, I was able to get all of the Chatillon Lux samples last November during the Black Friday sale....so don't be surprised the majority of my suggestions are CL Smile

1. CL Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
2. CL Fourth & Pine
3. CL Vide Poche - I really think this one is going to be great with it, even better than YRP which I think would be the most likely choice
4. CL Bon Vivant
5. CL Rose Santal...this one is questionable
6. CL Catalan's Prairie
7. CL Colonia Balsamica - might be a stretch but it's a very versatile scent...and one of my favorites Smile
8. CL Blackberry Blossom Bay - because it just goes well with almost everything!
9. CL Taum Sauk - provides a nice "nature" touch to the floral scent
10. Tabac
11. Wholly Kaw - Fern Concerto - see notes on Taum Sauk Smile

Surprisingly, I thought any floral scent would be a good choice. But comparing the soap with two lavender scents (Fine & CL) and with CL Unconditional Surrender, I just didn't think they paired well at all, but that's just my opinion. Hope this helps

BTW, I'm really excited to get this one...I've been checking that website at least three times a week for about the past ten months!

Thank you for the suggestions HoosierShave. They all sound promising. I have a lot of the CL a/s's.
