  1. A shave after my own heart! Your thoughts on the VDH products?
  2. That's what you get for using wooden blades.

  3. Sometimes scuttles alone are enough for me to consider going back to hot shaving. However, eliminating one potential purchase SHOULD be enough to keep me cold shaving.

  11. Good point. When I've used AQ, my wife says I smell like my dad.
  12. I use a scuttle 99% of the time. Whether it be with creams lathered in the scuttle or face lathering and then using the scuttle to keep the lather warm. A preference for me.

  17. Privyet! (Russian for greetings!)

    The Tet-a-tet cream was so enjoyable - lots of great lather, I love the scent, and it felt nice and cool especially on my second pass. The Intesa balm is really terrific - slightly cooling and very soothing and I loved the Aqua Velva's cold punch. A most delightful shave! :happy088: :happy088:
