ISD May 5th Proraso Day!

Post by Gatorade »

Target cleared it out! Now show me the spoils that you guys reaped!

I like the Proraso soap but the ASB wasn't something I had to have when I have so many other aftershaves to go through. I haven't given the Nationwide Injector a ride in a while so why not now!

Saturday morning:

Proraso pre-shave
Merkur HD/ Merkur
Proraso shaving cream
AoS Silvertip

Too much eucalyptus for me in one dose, so I had to end the shave with an alum block and just the smallest touch of Aqua di Parma to smooth it out (I felt that Chanel Pour Monsieur wouldn't mix well with mint). This should be the International SOTD for mid-August.

Please don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining. Just foreshadowing when my AC gives out during a heatwave. :)

That is just a trick of the trade. :wink: I post up the night before so that there will be a thread for those accross the pond to post to or any others who wake up before me. That way there is a thread to post to rather than half of them posting in the SOTD but not posting in the ISD thread. :D

I understand posting the night before to start the thread, but you also titled the thread as the 5th...instead of the 6th. That is why I was giving you a hard time... :P

I was actually waiting around for someone to create a May 6th thread, so that's why I didn't cross post until this afternoon.
