I shave everyday but with nothing exciting like special blades or a scarry straight razor. i really like my Venus.
Sue

OK Sue.....give us the inside story.....Chick stick is new.......what soap have you used up until now?

[Sue]

Years ago, bar soap (very drying esp. in winter) or canned gel which was less drying, but still dry. Baby oil worked well, but I got sick of cleaning the slickness off of the shower floor all the time. Then my own unfragranced cakes. I also tried Satin Care which came with the Venus gift set.

Very nice to see Sue's post--keep 'em coming!

Here's mine, back from the road. . .

Shower:
Nancy Boy bath bar in sig scent

Shave:
PJ3 Super
new--to me!--Fat Boy with new Feather blade
Coates Lime SC
Thayers lavender wh
CAR peppermint AS

I like the Fat Boy better than I thought I would--even with the Feather it was really smooth--and felt safer than my Vision somehow--I'm looking forward to learning this razor. Also picked up a black long handle adjustable Gillette in the same eBay swipe. . .

I am intrigued by Orange Sorbet Soap, what's it like?

John, the Orange Sorbet smells like the creamsicles you had when you were a kid. It's not a super strong scent like a lot of Sue's soaps, but I think that's a good call on her part for this one. It's a rather fun soap as it's very different than anything I've tried. Top notch lather as well.

 

[Scotto]

Shower: Nancy Boy Invigorating Body wash, conditioner, and face wash; Baxters shampoo

Shave:
Feather Artist Club with ProGuard blade
Barbasol brushless cream
Musgo Real Classic Aftershave
Coral Skin Food

Man, the lilac scent of the Barbasol is intoxicating! Good shave,too.

Brian, my initial thoughts are that it's a cologne worth having for the price. My favorite Sandalwood cologne has always been Floris. I have tried Trumpers, Taylors and few others but I always go back to Floris. I have only been wearing it a few hours and I can still smell it. I will have to reserve final judgement until the end of the day.

Penultimate shave at home; I hit the road Monday AM. Take look at my shave kit contents.

 

[Sue]

Marty,

Here are the non-negotionable terms of eating the lather:

1.) You must have said a 'bad' word
2.) A parent must put it into your mouth
3.) I am not responsible for any "end results"

Happy to hear you enjoy the fun summer fragrance!!

*Try #2 with the CF Limes. Today, not as good in terms of lubricity. Don't have any idea why. Will try again tomorrow. I also switched back from the FB to the HD and didn't get as good of results. Will go again w/ the HD, but if things stay as they were today then I'll be a FB shaver from here on out.
