Kent Shaving cream is worthy of comparison to any of the other well known creams. Looking forward to using it on a regular basis.

It's been a while travelling through the rotation, and this week's soap is Fine's Snake Bite in the push-up stick. The lathering skill was provided by the Elite White Manchurian brush. A great result.

Re: Aerospace grade magnesium shaving brush
I found this:
Is magnesium flammable or explosive?
highly flammable
Magnesium metal and its alloys are explosive hazards; they are highly flammable in their pure form when molten or in powder or in ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water.

Re: Gordon or Bernards66
Here it is! Just took a moment to locate it. Mystery solved. Peter was very close....but no banana. I grew up in Bernardsville, NJ and attended Bernards High School ( along with Meryl Streep, among other interesting fellow students ). I graduated from Bernards High in 1966, hence, 'Bernards66'. When...

Going into the second half of the month, this week's AOS product is Asylum Levine soap, to be followed next week by the remarkably fragrant AOS Rose Absolute. The Thater 4376/5 badger is always a winner.

Re: Gordon or Bernards66
For a few years I thought maybe his screen name was somewhat of a mystery. Last year I read a couple of Gordon's old posts wherein he mentioned ties to someone or something in Australia. It appears that "Bernards 66" is the exact physical address in a residential suburb of Adelaide Austral...

Circumstances worked out that today was a 3 day beard, and thanks to AOS Sandalwood cream, General razor and Kai blade, the shave is great.

It's good to be back home today, and back to my usual shaving gear as noted below.
AOS Sandalwood cream is my choice of the week.

Re: Shaving soap or cream of the day
On Wednesday I was away from home so I used Cremo brushless with menthol for the first time ever. Excellent brushless shaving cream. I'm glad I finally decided to buy it.

Free AOS tallow shaving
This is a duplicate post. Yesterday's soap was a trip back to the old school shaving soap - i.e.: AOS tallow based sandalwood soap. Too bad the smell of this soap is powerfully repulsive to me, and whenever I decide to use it I am amazed at the excellent performance of the lather. I suppose that's w...

Re: DR Harris shaving soaps
Now that such iconic shaving soaps as Mitchell's Wool Fat and Tabac have kicked the tallow habit, I first wondered why. Why? What happened to cause such an unusually coincidentally timed event? Whose official business would dictate such an urgent mandate? All of this makes me wonder how "they&q...
