Bit of a random choice today, just dug out some stuff i hadn't used for a while just because.
The Proraso green preshave has been kicking around for years in my cupboard so i was just glad to finish it today. It smells like Vick's which is no bad thing, i just ignored it because i don't think it adds to the shave particularly, but i wanted it gone.
The Palmolive cream is of course very good and super cheap. I favour soaps over creams, for no particular reason, so again, I wanted to move fractionally closer to finishing it, but it is good, don't think I'm saying otherwise. You could argue that with the cream, I didn't even need a brush.
This cherry Semogue owner's club boar is frustrating. I wanted to love it, and many do. I just find that no matter how often i clean it, it sucks the life out of any lather. So I neglect it on the shelf, but keep giving it another go every time i think I've used all my other brushes a lot.
The Hawk V3A gets a lot of use, it's not in my "not been used for a while" category, it's here because I'm halfway through a blade in it. Lost count how many shaves on this Kai Pink, I'm guessing about 5, still providing a close and comfortable shave.
The Baxter balm was bought when it was silly cheap on Amazon. It's a nice balm, glad i got it, but it leaves a thin layer when it dries that i find slightly odd. As such, I wouldn't pay normal asking price for it but glad I tried it. Needs using up.
The MSC Night on the Town splash i really like. It's almost a balm in itself and has a strong, long-lasting pleasant scent. I keep forgetting to use it as I've got loads of AS sprays and EdCs that i tend to reach for, so i thought I'd give it a go in my random assortment shave today.
Never in forum history has so much inconsequential waffle been typed about an unremarkable yet perfectly good shave. Well done and sorry if you've read all this! I think it's more indicative of my mood than any product.
Here's a picture to make this marginally more interesting.
