1. I don't notice anything out of the ordinary, Paul.

  2. I don't have it myself, I was just interested because of the "fireball" burn I get from Maggard's Tobacco&Leather aftershave, thus I wanted to compare it to other tpbacco-type products.

  3. I only have one aftershave that gives me a "fireball" burn and it's the Stirling Bay Rum. It doesn't cause any redness or any other reaction. I actually kind of like it.

  4. I think these "fireball" aftershaves/colognes all do what was described by LONG RIFLE SOAPS' tobacco-carrying products: They "slap you in the face, then give you a big hug". I'll be trying the Maggard one again this week, but with a regular shave cream this time, just to see if there's less of a burn than with the Tobacco Lounge(Local Gent)soap. I've been posting about this.

  5. Another razor for your consideration, another Cooper, but this time a three piece. It took proprietary blades, but a regular DE blade will seat properly when the head is tightened down. A mild, comfortable shave. [​IMG][​IMG]

    THE Single Ring, as good as it gets with a Gillette 3 piece Open Comb....... Or actually any Gillette razor ever, imo.

  9. Thanks! It's really surprising how the blade seats properly.
