The creams worked really,really well.The Semogue made tons of lather!those creams doesnt have SLS on their formula so the brush is just a lathermachineWho was the brilliant mind who stated that boars doenst makes a lot of lather from shaving creams?I must have read it on another forum........

+1 on the Palmolive Classic. It's fantastic value for money. It could do with a bit more cushion though, so it might make a good super lather with the Palmolive stick.

Tuesday - July 21

Semogue 1305
Noxzema Shave Lather
Schick Injector Type E
Thayers Rose WH / Anherb AS Gel

Results: A great treat today from Bill. The Noxzema was not as cold as expected but very moisturizing. The scent immediately reminded me of mentholatum. I enjoyed the nice lather and scent that helped wake me up! I thought the type E must be a really mild shaver but after 3 passes I still had quite a bit of stubble. Figured it might be the blade and injected a new one in there. BBS after one more pass. Great little shaver!

Lovely shave this morning.......smooth, comfortable and close. This blade is one of the top three for my face, and it worked well in this particular razor. Maybe not quite as sharp as the Iridium I normally use, but still a very nice result. I shaved with these many times in the past, but never in a Tech. A highly recommended combo.

The soap whips up really easily, and provides an excellent lather. Plus, the scent...........whew! This is my favorite of all the bay rum fragrances I've sniffed in any product, and that includes EdTs.

All in all, quite a nice way to start my day.........BBS results,
Martin
