Best/worst tasting shaving products

[Eben Stone]

No, that's not a typo. Tasting. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I can't be the only one that's accidentally got a little shave soap in the mouth.

Here goes:

Best: Osma alum block

Worst: PAA Clown Fruit pre-shave cube

With you on the Osma; it is quite palatable!

I'd add Speick to the list of soaps that taste good as well.

Worst? Anything menthol: I can't stand the stuff.

Asking about the flavors of various men’s shaving creams that accidentally got in your mouth. Is it supposed to taste this bad? Just asking for a friend, right?

So many places I shouldn’t go with this.

Pretty sure your confusing shaving cream with whipped cream. If not, maybe you should be. Haha

Cella should taste good…but doesn’t.

If col conk lime tastes like it smells it would taste delicious a little like lime candy. I think a few artisan soaps like grooming dept. iirc and probably a few others have some sugar alcohol like erythritol or sorbitol in them if I remember right, they must taste slightly sweet.

Tried a Lurpak shave once after watching the Butter shave episode from Seinfeld. Cut myself pretty badly, but at least the salted butter tasted good!

Got a splash of Proraso green aftershave in my mouth once which was rather unpleasant.

Shannon's Bay Patchouli Grapefruit shave soap is pretty good
Proraso alum not that much....

 

[Dave himself]

Yaqi pinacolada Chillers smells just like the drink but take my word for it. It tastes nothing like it. Come to think about it neither does the aftersplash. I'm a sucker for punishment.

Russian Gillette blades. Like drinking motor oil.

Worst: PAA Clown Fruit pre-shave cube

That particular cube smells great and works great, though.

Must be the glow-in-the-dark stuff in it.


Edit: the old gag... Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

Stirling Margaritas in the Attic tastes nothing like Margaritas.

Cella should taste good…but doesn’t.

I have always thought that. Smells like Christmas cookies to me.

I’m not going to comment on my level of sobriety last night or why I wrote that. A review of bank accounts reveal that I did not spend money at Brownells, Jegs or Amazon. I’m going to chalk this up to a win.
