First, business:
- Merkur HD w/old Feather blade
- Target/Proraso boar brush
- Proraso shaving cream
Wow, I've never used Proraso shaving cream before -- I love it! It was like an Altoid for my face! (Which is actually a good thing: before I started using those steroids up my nose, I used to chew five or six Altoids to help relieve congestion.) I got a very smooth, close shave, without any irritation whatsoever.
The cooling effect after a moment's pause -- the "wait two minutes" mentioned on the packaging -- was very noticeable, but not at all unpleasant. There's no scent after rinsing it off. I also bought some AS yesterday but didn't much care for it. Does its scent fade at all?

P.S. Richard, warm congratulations and good luck to the whole family!

The difference between theory and reality is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality, but in reality, there is.

Friday:
Gillette '58 TV Superspeed / Gillette "Swede"
Taylor's Eton College Shave Cream
Clinique Post-Shave Healer
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Aftershave
A glorious Autumn day in Pittsburgh. It was 33 degrees when I awoke, and still in the (high) thirties when I finally emerged from my burrow. The Blenheim Bouquet seemed like the perfect accompaniment to the Fall air, and it is.
I'm heading to an Oktoberfest this weekend. I hope the rest of you lads have something equally fun planned. Have a good one.

Congrads on the baby. Don't forget to get some sleep on that vacation. You may need to store some up before things get really rolling!

Hello All,
Well, Arko cream week is over. Last Sunday, I started with Moist, then proceeded for the rest of the week with Cool, Citrus, Regular, Commando and Sensitive.
And the winner is: Citrus!
To me, it has the best scent, which lingers nicely in the bathroom after the shave. Even my wife commented on how nice it smelled. And it has excellent lube like all the Arko creams.
Next week is Taylor's Week!
Cheers,
Richard

Living as a newlywed couple in our first home, you get used to having lots of leisure time and coming and going as you please. There is going to be some adjustment! Ahh well, if you wait it doesn't get easier as you get older.Congrads on the baby. Don't forget to get some sleep on that vacation. You may need to store some up before things get really rolling!
