I didnt know there was a green menthol version! I have always used the ice blue, it is my main a/s, great product. Sad to see it is being sold in plastic bottles now! The balm version is also great!

Think of it as a soft soap, and swirl your brush on the surface of the soap in the tub. Build your lather in the usual place - mug, bowl, scuttle, face. Chris Chris -- we are all so proud of your not maligning the "Italian toothpaste" in your factual response ...... :wink: You have a good...

I can't fall asleep on my back, I wish i could because its the best way to sleep and its good for your back. Stomach sleeping is the absolute worst, I try to sleep on my side.

Do you guys stick to one product(s) or switch it up??

Just wondering how many people use the same brush, blade, cream, razor, A/S everyday? Or do you constantly switch it up? Or occasionally switch it up? Any certain brands that are your "main go to's"?? For me I switch it up only because I still have a lot of stuff left from trying things ou...

I think i would start off with the trac II or I would really try the bic metals. I started shaving on a trac II when i was 13 until I was 18 with noxzema foam (good stuff actually for a can), then I made the switch to DE trying out the bic metals first, and never looked back. Id find an old gillette...

I think they are german wilkinson swords, ive tried them and the english ones I didnt care for either one and im not a fussy person. But for a 1.79 id probably buy a pack next time i need blades, i wish they still carried the personna's.

How long has your tweezerman lasted?

I have to say this is the best $10 I ever spent, Ive used it almost daily for about 5 years and the thing just doesn't quit, hardly ever loses a hair anymore, and the urethane is just starting to crack but the wood is still good. This little latherer is perfect for me and its the only badger ive use...

It can range anywhere from 2-6 shaves for me, it all depends on the blade, when those feathers go south they go south in a hurry and they will knick you bad... Other blades like us personna, trigs, I can keep on shaving even when they are dull and wont knick me. Ive had good luck at extending blade ...
