    +1 on CO Bigelow shave cream (it's in a green box) Made by paraso. A small tube costs about 5 bucks.

    I couldn't agree more. It even creates nice thick lather with the well water when I go home to Indiana, and that stuff is probably 95% iron. I used it exclusively for over a year, and I'm honestly considering getting some more.

    i have a 200ft artisan well....... the water has been very minerally lately... i am afraid to soak my boar brush in it..... trying to find a scuttle so i can just use spring water and keep it warm instead of using the microwave. have holes all over the lawn trying to find the well. if i find it i have some chlorinated tablets to put in it. finding it is the challenge. lack of metal detector + bum shoulder = prolly not going to find it.
    olive oil and caster oil huh?

    The cream is good, rebranded Proraso. I like the aftershave balm in the blue bottle....

    I myself just tried the CO Bigelow from B&BW with a shave brush and regular razor befor DE shaving, I think it works great.The finish smell is very clean ,nice lather and a cooling menthol during the shave and cool rinse is a nice finisher.And at 10 bucks a tube not a bad deal.

    Dunno why, but I dig the lavender. It's herbal, not 'flowery'. Got my old man hooked on this mix. He uses a Mach3. His hands aren't as steady as they used to be, so a straight probably wouldn't be a good thing.

    Anways, that's the formula. Let me know what you think if you mix some up.
