    Spanish Floid Aftershave


    Comments on the soap.

    1. Great scent needs more power :D.

    2. Very, Very Slick.

    3. Great moisturizing.

    3. Lather faded fast, only good for 1 pass, you need to start over to get a second pass so on and so on.

    4. I love slick soap but if you are someone who needs cushion and not slickness, you are not going to like it.

    All and all a good soap (for me), good job! :happy096

    Monday AM:

    Gillette Slim (5)
    Derby (2)
    Kent BK4
    AOS Sandalwood
    Proraso ASB


    A couple of things of note...

    1. The Kent Bk4 is much better when I don't shake the majority of the water from the soak out of it. I just lift it up out of the water, let the water run out (it's like turning a freakin faucet on) and give it one good shake. The resulting lather is cushiony and the brush feels like a down comforter on my face

    2. Is it just me or does Sandalwood smell a whole lot better on a cold morning?

    seamus402 You don't mess with Big Slim

    Monday

    L'Occitane Almond shower oil in shower, good facial rubdown, but no hot towel. Soaked brush ( New Rooney - super scrubby)
    My homemade Glycerin/Shea Butter Soap
    Super Adjustable with Sharps - day 4.
    3 passes (standard) with extra attention to the jawline and chin.
    Cold Rinse
    AV Ice Blue AS but no AS balm
    Ogallala BR, Lime and Peppercorn

    Super smooth. Super, super smooth. I did not use balm which I often do prior to AS Splash ( maybe AV Splash slammed my pores shut without the balm???)
