I have been looking into purchasing ToOBS Jermyn St. Cream, mostly because my skin is on the sensitive side. I have their Eton College scented cream which I really love, it lathers nicely and smells really great. That being said if I just use it straight it is little harsh for my taste, it gives me the sort of burning sensation that is similar to putting on an alchohol based aftershave. It isn't horrible but I'd rather not have it. Thats why I usually mix it with something else such as my Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shaving Soap. That way I get the scent without the sting.

So I am just curious as to what you think about the Jermyn St, is it pretty gentle, and what does it smell like?

I think thats is a really neat aspect about hobbies, they tend to bring everyone together regardless of age, sex, race, etc.

I saw above your avatar, it says your a musician, what instrument do you play? I am an avid bass player, and have been playing for about 7 years. It is one of my main hobbies.

No pic sorry...

Had you used an Italian razor (did around in the back of your sock drawer Munroe!)
You could have Titled this one "The Italian Job"...LOL

The Spring Uber!

Prep: Hot Shower/ Proraso pre-post creme
Brush: Thater 4125-2
Scuttle: G5
Soap: Proraso SS/ Salter Vetiver/ Glycerin Uber
Razor: Beau Brummel #18 11/16" square point
Post: Proraso AS/ Nivea Lotion
Result: Another spectacular shave with the freshly honed Brummel! The edges I am getting from the Naniwa 12k are silky smooth. An added bonus is the Proraso/Vetiver Uber, smells like fresh turned earth (Vetiver) and a "green" scent from the Proraso, and the performance is superb!
Have a Great Tuesday Gents!
