Needed a couple of auto pilot shaves. For me....these two safety razors are exactly that. Easy to find shaving angle, little thought needed on landings or shave direction. Add slick stuff (foam or lather)...and just get 'r done shaving. After a long wet, cold working weekend.....wanted a menthol kick to help wake me up this morning. Hmm....as a noted
non menthol head, I gotta say, the menthol in Proraso Green is lighter than I remember. PreShave smells more like Vick's Vapor Rub, barely any face tingle. The only other pre-mixed menthol I have is Zingari Man's 'The Socialite', and it is easily 3-4x the menthol feel not only during the shave, but on the face tingle lasts for an hour or more with their after shave 'Recovery Splash'. Definitely prefer the ZM's impact. Don't know if I'm ready for 'Cryogen' just yet....but may test the waters with a few other menthol versions out there....and play some more with the menthol crystals and grinder I have from PAA.
Proraso products just work. Slick, protective cushion, pleasant aroma. After shaves even better with the matched fragrance. Both shaves were 2 passers, awesome results, no shenanigans to report.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!
