Thank You! I can always count on you to "run" point.....

This is mostly because I have to send out one of those creams to the general population next week and I'm just trying to figure out if I need to make some adjustments before I send out this other round.

and yes.......still sniffing around for clues on the "rose scent" ....LOL.

XXWarm Regards, Colleen

Hey is everyone enjoying package #2.. I am.

Good Afternoon Gents!

Its a beautiful sunny 80 degrees here today and I'm thinking I should start my tomato plants. Does anyone else here raise a garden, or maybe just a few tomatoes ?

Just a quick question.....I wanted to know if the amount of shaving cream in each bag is adequate for test purposes ?

XXWarm Regards, Colleen

No garden here in NYC We live in an apartment my sister down in DC however has grown tomatoes the last 2 years and boy do I enjoy fresh garden tomatoes. Thankfully I get along with my sister.. lol

Cream in the bag was enough for two shaves per bag.

Why sure. I always like trying new things... this is sorta like the wine tasting of shaving accouterments. Now if we only had cigars and a masseuse

When I lived in Pennsylvania and New Jersey I always had a good sized vegetable garden. I have a very small one here in Arizona. In the Phoenix area you plant two gardens a year... one in late Winter and one in the Fall, but from early June to October it's too hot for much to grow well. The soil and water here is very alkaline, so many things you take for granted back East don't grow well here... honestly, I haven't tasted a decent tomato since I moved here. And, since we don't get very many cold nights in the winter, nothing that requires a significant number of winter-chill hours (eg, apples, peaches, pears, raspberries) bears much fruit here either.

Maybe! If you get the cream/ratio down quickly, I think so. I noticed that #2 had what appears to be considerable more content than 1 and 3. I ran out of #1, but it appears I have an ample supply of #2.

Yes indeed....the all important cream/water ratio

This remains one of the difficulties with the cream and it is two-fold. I have learned that there are two outside elements that affect the cream, one I am learning to modify and the other is out of my hands.

Part of the difficulty with the cream/water ratio, has to do with the hardness of the water where you live. I have drawn this conclusion over a period of time based on endless comments from Gents where in one state the cream works great, but in a different part of the country the cream only performs satisfactorily, and this is after some amount of experimenting with the water ratio.

This is actually a drawback from a "sell" point of view....unless a person is interested in the fact that there are no SLS ingredients in the cream, this is why the cream can behave so differently.

aannnnddd the other thing I've learned is that humidity or lack thereof plays a HUGE part when I formulate a batch....the liquid ratio in my batch is different by as much as 6 oz when the when the weather begins to change from cold to warm....and then warm to cold.

Sorda like how the oil companies say we have winter gasoline and summer gasoline.....

I appreciate your comments Gentlemen !!

Colleen,
You've got a PM of my review of package #2.

As to gardens...if my blisters could talk.

Actually, we've cut back dramatically on vegetable gardening since moving to Alabama. In Missouri, my vegetable garden was about 1000 square feet of bottomland soil. We grew enough vegetables to keep us in canned and frozen vegetables all year long. Here (thank goodness) the deer make it difficult to grow any vegetables at all without substantial fencing. It's cheaper (and easier) to visit the local farmers market each week. Even so, I still put in a few tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and a bunch of herbs each year. I've also got enough blueberries to freeze 20+ pounds (deer tend to leave vaccinium's and most herbs alone).

Cheers,
Ed
