I've started putting all my ASLs in 50ml Plastic Squeezable Dropper Bottles. I find the best range is from one to four squirts (with two to three squirts hitting the sweet spots for most ASLs). I simply test to find how much I like best then remember that (number of squirts) for any particular ASL. Very handy.

This is just me revisiting past experiences. Prior to joining B&B my MO was electric shave on weekdays and Gillette Sensor Excel cartridge shave on Saturday and Sunday.
As expected the result was an SAS. Due to my whiskers growing nearly parallel to my skin they show through quite vividly. So it's only me (and anyone touching my face) that can tell the difference between an SAS and a BBS shave, whereas to anyone looking they would just appear the same. Of course, after serving my time at B&B, an SAS doesn't seem quite right.
I got mine here, but they appear to be out of the 50ml size at the moment. There are lots available, but the majority appear to be opaque, here's the first page of a selection of ~1,379 options.
I've just used Reusel Larpple Varken for the first time. It was very nice. It really has me curious about Proraso Red. I may have to try it as they both have Sandalwood. Has Larpple Varken officially unseated Proraso Red splash?SOTD: Another leap backwards

That was another (short lived) BBS shave, but a little closer than the previous one.
The answer to closer shaves definitely appears to be MORE PRESSURE.
I'm really enjoying the Reuzel ASL (especially now that I can control how much I dispense).
My Dutch is non-existent Rave. According to Google Reusel Larpple Varken means Giant ?(something)? Pig.
Sorry Cal, Larpple is not Dutch. It's a combination of Lard and Apple.My Dutch is non-existent Rave. According to Google Reusel Larpple Varken means Giant ?(something)? Pig.
Help please.
Giant Lard Apple Pig. That's definitely BOSC.Sorry Cal, Larpple is not Dutch. It's a combination of Lard and Apple.
Giant Lard Apple Pig. That's definitely BOSC.
But for the sake of simplicity, I'm sticking with Reuzel (lard).

Larpple Varken is a great way to start the day. Just splash on some Varken Larpples and your'e good to go. A little will do you.
I'll drink to that.
