with my wet shaving set-up. And then, I sauntered casually into the B&B and all that has changed.
It started innocently enough. Read a few reviews and realized that the Wilkinson Sword blades I'd been using for years are not up to par. Seems my trusty Williams soap is at the bottom of the list. Always used a boar brush and now....?
Didn't want to miss out on things so why not order a sample pack of blades? While I'm at it, might as well try some highly reviewed soaps. Oh, and there are cremes too? Well, gotta try that as well.
I've received two blade sample packs and am working through them. So far, of the four I've used under exactly the same pre/post routine and razor (EJ DE87).......and all four (which I never knew existed) are giving me better shaves than the Wilkinsons (of which I have 80 in my closet!). Just to be sure, this morning I shaved with a Wilkinson and it was not close. It used to be, but not anymore.
Still haven't tried the new (to me) soaps or creme. I can see where this will end up already. I even have some different after shaves on order.
There should be a warning somewhere on the B&B registration page indicating the side effects that may occur......"Continued visits to this web site may result in rapid credit card drain, a feeling or strong desire to experience every brand of every product pictured, talked about or advertised. Also common is; An inordinate amount of time spent in front of a mirror staring at your face. Less common but possible side effects include: Difficulty in describing scent variations and using words or phrases you've never uttered in public like "citus note", "lingering clove accent", "sandalwood vs. bay rum." Should you experience any of these symptoms consider yourself warned."
