Norcalnewb, thanks for the compliment and the comment.

I have read mixed reactions to Erasmic on the internet, including skin irritation and burn, but I will give it a fair shot before I conclude for myself.
It's the only shave stick I have. My son LOVES Arko, I thought this might be similar.
I will likely put my trials and reactions into a post on the shave soap section of the forum.
It may take awhile, because I am predisposed to enjoying my shaves rather than working hard to accomplish an adequate result.
Could be fun though. We'll see.

Thanks very much Guy.

JAMIE'S NIGHT SHAVE..

1. Warm Shower - Stirling Bar Soap - Clubman Country Club shampoo.
2. AOS Lavender Pre Shave Oil.
3. TSD [The Shave Den] TEA TREE LAVENDAR - Lanolin Shave Stick.. First shave with the LANOLIN TSD Soap ( I have the Wheat Sub Zero & Cool Water Type and that is a great cream) - This Lanolin soap is REALLY Special, now I sliced a sliver off the stick and pressed it in the bottom of the bowl and bloomed it with a little water and 2 drops of TSD menthol bomb, It lathered nicely and was not as thick as most artisan soaps - which was fine because the slickness was above average - now here is the BEST thing about this LANOLIN soap - POST SHAVE smoothness and my skin feels so soft and moisturized - ABOVE AVERAGE post shave!! The TEA TREE LAVENDAR is a really awesome scent.
4. Semogue 610 boar
5. 1924 Ever-Ready Shovel head with PAL Carbon blade.
6. Thayers Lavendar Mint / MR FINE Lavedar a.s. / AOS lavender post shave balm.

Thanks Halvor
