Conk Bay Rum -> Awesome. Unique bay rum scent, very smooth, very different than most bay rums. Almost has a rootbeer-y twang to it Time to seek out the splash Excellent performance :happy088

 

And modest too, I see!

You're quite welcome. I gather this is a bad time to ask, but how'd you like the coconut? Hard to shave with goosebumps?

 

That's not fair.....I have already had enough sleepless nights:rofl

Thursday (late afternoon):

hot facecloth prep

B&B finest horn brush
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna cream

Trumper's Coral Skin Food

 

That's a shame. Unless it's billed as unscented, a $25 tub of cream ought to smell like something! I've only used it once and while it did it's job, it certainly wasn't one of those lovely smelling English creams we're all accustomed to! I TOLD you it had no scent though, didn't I?

 

GFT Coconut SC was one of two of the first creams I used when wetshaving - so its been a little while, but I do remember it having a coconut smell (tube version),.......it wasn't, however, as potent as the other GFT creams. I think the faint smell is one reason it is marketed toward "sensitive" skin.

The JF Fraser certainly is Mr Slick Rick ,I went really fast with the Feather combo and it protected me all the way only a slight nick when doing ATG on the upper lip but cold water to the rescue.
This will def. be a fav. cream in my rotation its almost as good as Tabac shave stick very BBS results.
The M7 is so strong it acts as an EDT the same time lasts you certainly 8 hours.
