SephoraMen Shaving cream/EJ DE86/Feather/Lijun&1980 Finest/Nivea Multiprotect ASB
First try of the Sephora Shaving cream this morning. First impression when I squeeze the cream out of the tube. It is slightly more fluid than other creams I have use so far, so quite easy to squeeze out. Not much scent, just a very slight milk like scent. Seems need a bit more water to create the lather but the lather looks very creamy and the bubbles are really microscopic. Sort of reminds me of the icing on cakes.
On application, the lather is really very smooth and creamy. Not much scent again, maybe it is formulated to be suitable for sensitive skin. The blade glides over the skin very well with the lather providing lots of protection and cushioning. Can feel the slickness when washing off and leaves the skin feeling pretty moisturized after the shave.
Overall, very satisfied with this cream. Good protection, moisturization while also providing a good glide for the blade. Also no irritation at all even for my pretty sensitive skin. Very happy with it.

Easy single pass shave. Didn't go for BBS, but still got close with a DFS! Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to work I go!

Have a nice day, Gentlemen
. Once again, I opted for the Arko today, but this time in combination with Al's Bomb creme. In contrast to yesterday, I used a little less Arko and the scent was much better but with equally über-amazing performance. I know Al's creme is the crème de la crème, but what I have come to really appreciate is Arko's performance. They should make this with better smelling essential oils. Beautifully BBS and satisfying shave
I'm awaiting a delivery of that soap. Sounds heavenly!
