I have a HAGS soap, and it is great. I'm not sure though that I would consider the scent of Megalodon something that goes with anything.
The trouble with ES is that they seem to be distributed nearly only by themselves...
Hmm, perhaps Barberwood would be a good HAGS choice then? I find barbershop scents pretty much go with anything. The emulsion balms by WestMan might be the best choice for you then, however I only have MazaGran and that's somehow a sweet & spicy coffee note - not sure how well it'd go with citrus/fresh shaving soap...
Unfortunate. I got a lot of their (E&S) stuff at AboutBodyCare, but I'm not certain that they ship to France at an acceptable price.
I may have a way better recommendation then: OAM Oli del benessere toner - it's an alcohol denat. free aftershave toner with OAMs "wellness oils" scent. It pretty much goes well with most other scents, doesn't break the bank, Rasoi Goodfellas even mentions that the scent of the toner is "less persistent than the alcohol version" so it doesn't linger around too long to interfere with any perfume you might want to use.
