Thursday
Got up early and enjoyed a slow relaxing shave and a nice surprise.
Thater/ G5/ Mikes Natural Orange,Cedarwood,&Black Pepper/ Brummel #18/ Proraso AS/ Nivea
I have tried the lineup from Mikes Natural soaps the last few days. The Lemongrass/ Eucalyptus sample smelled so fresh you'd swear you were in a lemon grove, but the performance left something to be desired. However, today I used the Orange/ Cedarwood/ Black Pepper and put some water on the puck while I showered and KABOOM, Lather central! I did the same with the Lemongrass, but maybe I will try again. The predominant smell was Oranges and dried down to oranges, faint Cedarwood with a hint of the pepper. The Glide was good, a little poor on the cushion, but the Tallow base left my face moisturized and smooth, definitely going to use this citrusy blend during the warm summer months.
Have a Great Thursday Gents!
Carl, keep your chin up Brother, better times are ahead.

Carl, you'll be pleased to know that Proraso has just done a repackaging and a reformulation. Parabens and sls are gone and apparently the soap performs great. This applies to their whole lineup. They're also coming out with a sandalwood.Quote:

I had a few problems getting a great edge on this one and so it has been in the low rotation category.
I decided to give it a run tonight anyway, and as soon as I put it to my face tonight I remembered something.
A couple of months ago I conquered the edge and completely forgot, nailed it in fact. :y
After 3 passes I'm smooth as a catfish's belly, a much better shave than I expected.

A slight touch of irritation around the adam's apple today. Cleared up in about 15 minutes, so I guess I've got to relearn some techniques using different razors instead of my go to blade.
