Gillette Adj. w/ Merkur blade
St. Charles brush

Did all four passes on #3 setting. Areas of my beard that previously fought off the Progress more or less fell to this razor. I can't explain it. I then did touch ups on the #1 setting, which is ultra gentle for a safety razor, but still cuts. This wasn't a perfect shave, but definitely a stellar one. Although this was just my first shave with this razor, it has unseated the Progress for now.

How are you liking that #2, Howard? Isn't it sublime? I have my bottle on the way!

It's AWESOME! I'm actually sniffing my wrist as I type this. It's a very fresh, yet, soft and woody scent.

My sniffer isn't as good as others - but I know what I like and this is some of the best I've got. Lasts a good long time, as well (not that I'm going to be like Ron and tell you about my "bushy areas.")

Ron, wassap! How's the e-shave almond cream? I'd love to get my mitts on it? The trouble is, I'd have to order it from their website because we don't have it in Montreal. Is it as good as the cucumber one?

Hi Jeff,
Very simply, the almond is not amongst my favorite almond creams, nor êShave creams for that matter.. I do not care for the fragrance quite as much as some others, e.g. T&H Almond. The cucumber, white tea, floral, and citrus are all better fragrances. The cucumber, white tea and floral are all better shaves... YMMV.

 

[crackstar]

Thanks Ron. I was hoping to give it a try, but if you're not too excited about it, I'll just let it slide. My favorite almond scents come from Taylors and Crabtree & Evelyn or even DR Harris. Thanks again, my friend!
