Shower or Shave (SoS) July 2 - 8

You A.S.K. on the A.S.L. and you G.E.T. bro:

Ingredients:
Alcohol Denat, Water, Propylene Glycol, Parfum, Hamamelis virginiana, Allantoin, Menthol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Geraniol, Linalool, Caramel, C 1 42090, C 1 47005.

Those last two, apparently, are FD&C Blue #1 and Yellow #10, respectively. And I never looked that closely at the ingredients on this one... "Caramel?" :eatdrink023

Alcohol, Witch Hazel, Menthol. All it needs is some Sandalwood EO and it would be perfection in a bottle. In fact, Aqua Velva + this stuff = Heaven.

I am always surprised at the amount of lather and slickness of Charles’ soaps. There was at least enough lather for three 3 pass shaves in the lather bowl.

It was also my first use of the Mitchell’s soaps, VERY moisturizing. This will have to become part of my regimen.

Have an outstanding day!

Oh dear, that Derby-blade was past its due date and it tore me up really bad. At first I thought it was a great shave but 15 minutes afterwards my neck went red and started to burn. With the help of pure shea butter the burn disappeared within half an hour, but still, a bad shave.
