Aloha!

Really? The EXACT same ingredients? Now you have me curious. I'll have to pick up some and compare both the ingredients and also how it works on my skin VS the Proraso. Looking forward to it.

Since I'm cheap, and I occasionally wash my face, I told her that I would use it. Eventually I tried it as a pre-shave!

OK. Thanks. My wife and daughters keep a jar in the bathroom, so I'll give it a try.
I just figured that it was for make-up removal and ignored it. Now, if it helps to remove
whiskers, that's another story.

Does it have menthol? Menthol is what I crave in a pre-shave cream. The "good stuff" here Europe-side seems to lack it...

Just don't get caught.

If they find out you're using their stuff, they might start thinking about some of yours!

Ive been using Udderly Smooth. Cheap and works well for me. Might have to give Noxima a try if i can f8nd where the wife hides it. The Udderly Smooth is not greasy or oily and i like that.

Too late. They already "borrow" my nail clippers, comb, and barber shears all the time.
And recently a puck of sandalwood shaving soap went missing. They owe me.
