I am interested in your thoughts on my recent experience. Am I mad, or am I experiencing something common? I’d love to know what you think!
I‘ll put it in point form to keep it simple.
1. Relatively new to wet shaving with DE blades.
2. Purchase Proraso green red and white as well as a Proraso mug.
3. Enjoy the smell of all of them but am not overwhelmed by their performance but am well aware that that may well be a lack of lathering skill on my part.
4. Ordered ToOBS Sandalwood, B&M Seville Omnibus and Arko stick just for fun.
5. Love the smell of the Seville but am underwhelmed by its performance.
6. Quite like the ToOBS smell but think it’s performance is so-so.
7. Am impressed by the Arko stick’s performance and not in love with the smell and decide it will be great for travel.
8. Recognise that the Proraso mug is not great for bowl lathering and that it’s probably designed for pucks. Decide that the ridges are for holding a puck, not creating lather.
9. Decide to press the Arko into the Proraso mug and leave it there. Impressed with the results.
10 Decide to use up the other soaps over the next couple of years and stick with Arko as I think it may well be the best performing soap out there if not the most pleasant in aroma.
Anyway- does anyone have any thoughts on this change of heart? Ring any bells?
Thanks in advance!
