Simpsons Chubby 3 Super
Coates Tea Tree SC
Merkur Slant w/Feather (Day 1)
Harris Milk (old)
Harris Classic Cologne
Proraso Pre Post

The Feather/Slant produces a close shave not acheived by any other blade i have (Derby/7'0 Clock Gillette). I love the Chubby 3 Super, recently acquired from Lee, and as far as Shedding problems, this is my 4 New Simpson, Chubby 3 being the latest, in the last 2 weeks. They have never Shed even a single hair that i can remember. For me, I feel there is not a better Shaving brush than the Chubby 3. Amazing Big Brush.

Actually that one is not an aerosol, it works like a vacuum pump. The last time I used that Korres Absinthe cream, I had quite good results. I wish they made an absinthe ASB, I’d use it everyday.

That vacuum pump idea is the same principle/design as the REN bottles.

Not a bad shave to start the week but the AD is kicking in, (see my thread in the Uni)

I emailed Sue 'Mama Bear' :

Absinthe type shaving products… Shave cream, ASB, Cologne… It would be absolutely fantastic.

Also something Gin ‘flavored’, like Gin and Tonic shave cream would be to die for… Juniper scent with some lime, nice and sweet.

I'll post if I get a response.

Thanks gents..., I need to somehow create a bounce screen with a sheet of white bristol board above the camera. Combined with relatively dark rooms and high stucco ceilings the bounce flash is seriously weakened. I use a small halogen lamp but the light is too yellow. If I could somehow suspend the white board, all would be well. I think.

I hate using a tripod BTW.

No, wait, I wrote "great products", but I don't even know what the soap is. :D
