After considerable dramatic pause, I'm finally here to "review" the final shaving cream sample #5. But, don't get overly excited.

After experiencing all of these "blind" soap and cream samples, I...

I had a strong feeling this was a special product. The fact that I had such a good shave -- in a hurry with a hampered ability to lather -- speaks well to its performance even beyond the rich...

I had a rather hurried shave yesterday morning with Sample #4. After digging some out of the container, I smashed it into my pre-warmed GP20 scuttle following my typical shower warmup. ...

Well, if you don't care for the Fine American Blend, be sure to consider me your disposal expert in the matter. :deal:

Jumped backwards to sample #2 for tonight's wonderful shave. A medium dense, white croap, I once again got a lathering workout. Damn you, you devious bastard, David! I'm so looking forward to...

Honestly, all of the samples I've tried here have been tricky to differentiate given their fine performance. But on this particular shave, I specifically compared the lathering qualities of the...

Finally, an easy to lather cream awaited my shave with sample #6 yesterday morning. Very light consistency akin to Baume.be, and a similarly mild, clean scent that I cannot properly describe...

And if you still don't care for the Haslinger after Theoman's fine offer, Jerry, I'd volunteer to take them off your hands. :rofl2:

November is the big Five - oH! for me. :rolleyes:

On a...

Yes, I’d heard of Haslinger but don’t recall anyone’s opinion on its performance. Given this soap and a lovely SG20k finish, I’ve never had a better shave off of this Livi.

I certainly love the...

Okay, so my innate laziness rewarded me with a superb shave on 5 day's growth -- the crazy, itchy threshold for me. Not only did I choose an often neglected razor, but I wound up using that heavy...

Here's my 2nd take on the Oleo Rougere (sample #1):

Seems that you never fail to gas up the funny, Jerry! :p

Heck, I met a new neighbor the other week who estimated my age to be 10 years younger. That was pretty awesome...unless he's just...

Yes, Jerry, definitely a tight skin feeling for me using that Oleo soap. XPEC, CF Lime, Tabac, Speick, and MWF all lather up fine using my water and do NOT leave any trace of a tight feeling...

"Cherry" was the closest thing my nose could come up with honestly. The fragrance is much too complicated for me to describe but really pleasing! :)

FWIW, I certainly don't detect rose/hay...

No almond this time, but I just finished shaving with David's sample marked #1. Much better lather than my last shave with that Cella, and I most certainly had the lather on the watery side which...

Ha! So much for my abilities to adequately review the shaving qualities of the cream. I suppose the discomfort shaving my moustache area was owing to poor glide/cushion rather than anything else. ...

The overall tone of my retort was in jest, OCDShaver. I understand your goal of removing all possible variables from the review. However, each one of my razors typically delivers peak performance...

No, just NO! ............ :aargh:

Spent way too many years testing crappy M$ .NET software to go all OCD on shave soap reviews. Funny, I didn't read your response 'til after I posted my...

Okay, here I am fellas! Finally got around to shaving some 5d+ growth with my Oakwing G and mystery soap #7. I just grabbed the baggie resting on top of the other samples in no particular order.
