My sentiments exactly Ron! My shave yesterday was the first in a few weeks with my Vision and what an amazingly close shave it was. The other thing I notice is the fact I have to concentrate more while shaving to keep all my skin intact! I can get sloppy with my fixed Merkurs or my Gillettes but the Vision demands more concentration and better technique or it makes me pay! :yikes:

Ron, how do you like the smell of it? Once it gets lathered up (and it lathers up very well) the funny smell seems to go away. How did it shave as well?

Gillette Fusion Power - 1 down pass, one up pass, plus a lot of touch up.
Proraso ASB

An excellent shave with using the Fusion and KMF for the first time ever. No irritation. B^2 smooth but boring. Not much feedback with this shave; physical, aural, or olfactory. It will be interesting to see what kind of life I get out the the Fusion cartridge.

It's absolute turmeric! I love it.. I have a tube of the skin cream brought back from India by a dear friend. Used it as a balm, FANTASTIC! Great, close shave!
Too bad I don't have more!:biggrin:

Ron,

So you mean it's really supposed to smell like that?:tongue_sm

Whew!! I do smell the Sandalwood in it, but its overpowered by the Tumeric. I think its a food seasoning, isn't it?

From Vicco Labs:
From times immemorial, Turmeric, commonly known as 'haldi', has been used by the Ayurvedic and the Unani practitioners in India as a stomachie, tonic and a blood purifier. It is also used as an antiperiodic and alterative. Turmeric mixed with warm milk is a household remedy and is said to be beneficial in common cold. The fresh juice from the rhizome, a paste prepared from it or a decoction made from the plant, is often used as a local application as well as internally in the treatment of leprosy, snakebite, vomiting of pregnancy and affections of the liver. Murray advocate its use in troublesome diarrhoeas.

Baden Powell (Founder of the Boy Scouts) found it to be effective in intermittent fevers and dropsy. The fresh juice from the rhizomes is believed to have antiparasitic property in many skin affections. Externally it is used for indolent ulcers and a paste made from the powdered rhizomes along with caustic lime forms a soothing remedy for inflamed joints. A decoction made from the rhizome is said to relieve pain of purulent opthalmia. It is still a common practice in India to use a piece of cloth soaked in turmeric solution for wiping away discharges of acute conjunctivitis and ophthalmia. Finely powdered turmeric mixed with alum forms a common household remedy for otorrhoea. A thick watery paste of turmeric is used for sprinkling on many auspicious occasions amongst the Hindus in this country in place of saffron because of its colour. The smoke produced by sprinkling powdered turmeric over glowing charcoal is said to relieve pain to scorpion bite.
As far as your "Desire" for sandalwood, I direct you here!
