I use it every so often and am never pleased, it seems to dry my skin a little and I always have a little burn after?
Thank you, Best wishes Ralfy

Tat2Ralfy..I also use the TOBS but in the Sandalwood, it was drying very quickly until I started adding a few drops of pure glycerin.

=============================

I love those Palmera razors. They look like a classy Filly

Today's shave was my first ever with a DE, my first in a week, and my first shave at my new place - a fair few firsts, and all good ones.

Brush: Tweezerman Silvertip
Cream: EJ Sandalwood
Razor: EJ 89 with Derby blade
AS: Nivea Replenishing Post-Shave Balm

The shave: GREAT! Finally got BBS everywhere, even in my problem spot where my under-jaw meets my neck. I think I probably should have gone WTG/XTG/ATG with the length of stubble I had, rather than my usual ATG/ATG pass, as I had a little bit of burn and some weepers. Still a phenomenal shave though, I'm definitely a DE convert now. It was even better than my straight shaves, so I think that means I need to work on my straight technique some more.
