Caffeine has an effect on skin, but the only one I'm aware of elasticity (potentially) and a slightly improved response to sun damage (which is why it's found in some sunscreens and skin creams).

I never understood the aversion to Zamac. My 37C had a great finish and, while I have moved on from DE's, if taken care of should outlive us all.

 

Nice shave. The MW Lavender is one of the best available.

Friday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 6
Palmira SC
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Musgo Real Classic AS Splash

No complaints about this shave even though the Astra Green is starting to get tired. This Palmira cream, from Serbia is fantastic - it has such a nice old school European scent, it lathers like crazy, and it has very good moisturizing. The Nivea Cool Kick balm has a lousy scent, (to me) but it does an excellent job of moisturizing and soothing the skin. The Musgo Real aftershave smells great and after the little sting you first get it feels very comfortable. Two passes left me almost, but not quite BBS.

 

Didn't think of that!
Sorry...

 

Alas, reading fragrances does not rell me much: I understand it is pleasant!

I'll have to check whick fragrances are available...
Any suggestion appreciated!
I like Floris 89, Knize Ten, Oxford & Cambridge, Klar Kabinett...
