FRIDAY

German Gillette Tech

Axe brand medicated oil as ASL+ASB

bloody hell, that Axe-stuff is just plain strong. At first, after applying, you only feel the calming of the essential oils on your face. But then, after a few seconds, the Menthols kicks in. I tell ya, guys, this is a menthol-blast as you've NEVER experienced it before - Aqua Velva, Floid, Proraso... fuggettaboutit - this stuff has 20% Menthol in it + another 15% Eucalyptus EO, so it's just plain STRONG!
Your face will go numb for a minute or two, after that you'll have a strong cooling effect for maybe about half an hour. After that you'll have great-feeling skin on your face as the oil completely sinks into the skin. This stuff really is ASL+ASB+M E N T H O L in one
Highly recommended ::

 

I call for a new title for Klaus: Braveface

Now I have to try this too. I hope summer will return soon.

This was a very great shave. First time ive ever almost received BBS. I would have to say i was 90% there...still a few spots on the neck that gave me grief and i can still feel xtg. Tried picking up the spots, but alas...they are there as a reminder.

AS I am addicted to Osage Rub :drool for this very reason, What is AXE? More importantly... WHERE CAN I GET IT?

Sorry, didn't mean to shout.

 

Clickable

 

I think the easiest way to get it is via eBay. Just search for "Axe oil" worldwide

 

+1

I just ordered two vials of the 1.89oz size from a Buy It Now... there seemed to be about 10 auctions or so of this magical elixir. Can't wait!!!

 

Time for a little stroll around the apothecaries in Chinatown here, methinks.
