So I normally use poraso green for my pre shave. But as always I got curious an tried "another" product in my routine. Must say that I am very pleased. The smell is almost pure orange to me. Overall it worked very well. Was a lot less oily than AOS. But still provided nice glide. For a rather in expensive product it worked very well. Any one using their other products?
i also use Pacific pre shave oil as well as AOS sandalwood and Proraso pre /post cream. i can't say one really works that much better than another. Pacific does the job just fine. I do however really enjoy the Proraso sensation of menthol eucalyptus on my face. In the end i think Pacific products are a good value i use their shaving cream sometimes as well and its good , AOS pre shave oils and creams are great quality but a bit pricey. next move for me is to experiment with home made pre shave oils, i came across a few formulas and it seems to be a sound idea to mix up a batch and try it out.
enjoy variety
cheers
Yeah Razor I agree on the I don't know that any of them perform better than the others. I also agree I like the menthol feeling in the poraso cream. Where did you find the formulas for home made preshave oils? I would be interested in trying that too.
Well i was inspired to try this by this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXNGC6bipXA and also this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ALYNfxjq4 looks easy im actually going to do this one today and ill tell you if i think its good. If you scour the web you can find lots of stuff about making your own shaving goop. give it a shot.
Awesome! Thanks for the vids. Gonna try Obies trick of just using some of my glycerin too.
