if this post is in the wrong topic please move it...I have a lot to type, as usual and some is ON topic, some is OFF topic ...again... as usual.
I first want to thank Charles at QED.com for the fast shipping, secure packaging, great products and advice!!! THANKS Charles!!!
I received my package yesterday. When I came down to my room last evening (I work nights) the box was on my desk. I was kind of in a hurry to get ready for work, but I HAD to open it.(I had already done my b4 work shave
)Wellllllll.... the first thing I noticed was the fragrance.... JUST by opening the box!! Very N I C E....
I checked out each neatly wrapped package, then had to go.
When I arrived home this morning, I was greeted by the most wonderful scent(s)! My wife thought the fragrances were great too (that's a BIG plus).
Well, wifey off to work, then I checked each sample, tube and tub ... I smelled just great afterward! LOL I am sure you all know the feeling of having your olfactory sense overloaded (in a nice way).
I put a bit of each soap on the hollow of my elbow and rubbed them in (after my experience last week, I had to make sure there was no reaction
)Then I waited about 2 hours reading the news, this site of course and doing some writing. Guess what??????
NO REACTION !!!!!!!!!!!! So off to the shower I went.
A large container of water from the micro-wave, brush soaking and all implements in place... a very short shower and then the SHAVE!
1. lots of hot water on the face and a hot towel.
2. rub in some Proraso pre/post-shave (because I ordered it!)
3. let brush drip the extra water out of it
4. lather up with some "Mr. Taylor's cream WHAT A SCENT!!!!
5. shave with a new blade in the DE Gillette & light second pass
6. marvel at the close shave
7. rinse with warm water
8. apply a little Proraso
9. clean up my bowl and brush (what a LOAD of cream still in it!!)
10. a little cold water on the face (WOW... made the Proraso wake up!!)
I just LOVE the smell of the Mr. Taylor's cream... I wish I had ordered it in the tub, instead of the Lemon/Limes (although it smells great too).
I am really impressed guys.
The creams sure make a difference in the comfort, the feel of the shave, the closeness W I T H O U T ANY I R R I T A T I O N heh heh
BIG Thanks to all who made suggestions and gave their opinions on where to start and again, to CHARLES>>> THANKYOU for your help and for being there. I can see alot of my future business going to you and everyone I can convince this is the... THE way to shave.
If you have never tried these creams I say GO FOR IT, you will not be disappointed. Call Charles and put in an order today!!
