SOTD June 5 to June 11

[rossination]

I had an audition today, and I'd been up late last night finishing a paper. I should have spent an extra 20 minutes sleeping in, but instead, I decided to shave! Used some Proraso (quite a bit, actually -- did a good job waking me up), my goofy old unidentified Gillette razor with Merkur, King of Shave pre-shave oil, and a boar brush (soon to be replaced!).

Actually, I tried using the Proraso brushless at first, but the shave was terrible! My razor was "skipping" a whole lot and I was terrified that I was going to slice my jaw open. So, back to the brush for me.

Wow! Did you shave with all of them?

Not to be outdone by the "do you switch razors midshave" thread, I've decided to dedicate one razor per whisker.

AOS Cream Unscented
AOS ASB
AOS Sandalwood EDT

So I got my AOS samples yesterday (could you tell?). The shampoo was very nice, but was very similar to Paul Mitchel Tea Tree. I wasn't a fan of the conditioner. Worked well, but there was something pungent in the smell that bothered me. The cream, while unscented (boo!), worked VERY well. Probably the easiest to lather I've seen. Very slick as well. Good shave all around. The ASB was a little heavy at first, but absorbed decently. I wouldn't buy it though. EDT was nice, but my wife turned her nose up at it. So out it goes.
