Try this for prep: Stephen Stay Smooth

It apears that both Stephans and Lucky Tiger Molle' are essentially the same product under different labels.

As for your question...IMHO, you only need to identify the initial ingredients. The reaction may only occur in a laboratory environment. LA is not a controlled lab environment, but an uncontrolled urban environment.

I'm no chemist, but I surmise that the amount of the ingredients in the Stephans/ Lucky Tiger and the LA smog for nitro are not in large enough quantities to produce the big bang that would wake either of us up in the morning. :)

Hi John Henry,
The nitroglycerin remark was only "just for laughs"...not to be taken too seriously. I don't think we have a lot to worry about...after all, we wash our faces after a good shave :).

Happy shaving and Thx,
-Robert

Robert,

I understood it as such. I guess my attempt at humor missed the mark.

Take care--and continued smooth shaving chief.

:D:D:tu

I got it...didn't miss it. But it's sometimes hard to know with text, without the emotions and tone :rock: what one means and serious they are (or not).

I have some too, its a post shave treatment too, directions say to rub in the remaining after the shave.. It does smell good, & is quite slippery.

Hi Kirk,
I don't know if I would leave that stuff on the skin after a shave, for a whole day...remember, Stephan's has mineral oil in it...it's probably one of the reasons it's slippery. Leaving mineral oil on your skin will end up trapping dead cells and toxins and prevent proper "breathing" of your skin. Mineral oil is an oil, not a moisturizer...just because it feels oily, doesn't mean your skin is moisturized...Quite a contrary.

What I would do is to wash your face with warm water to get everything off (including Stephan's) followed by cold water rinse and then your usual AS balm and moisturizer on your skin...Voila!! Done...no fuss, clean. Skin is happy, you are happy. I found Trumper's skin food and moisturizer to be wonderful in doing this. Another fantastic moisturizer is NancyBoy's facial moisturizer.

Cheers,
-Robert

Barbershop supplies and barbering equipment, barber supplies

Since I live in the Midwest, I try to order close to home and these guys do an excellent job for me. With high unemployment rates and the cost of living increasing daily it only makes sense to shop smart. Does anyone else know of any wholesale places like this one?
