    A properly groomed English Gentleman's scent is what that is!

    English Gentleman + LA High School = ?


    Anywho, I'll be honest. I'm not sending you any gillette swedes or yellow packs. There will be Astras though.

    I am going to go out on a limb here and try to answer Rogue's question and to the others please ocrrect me if I am not correct. The irritation that Padawan was encountering is caused by the rubbing motion of the razor against the surface of the skin and indicates that he is pushing to hard against the skin. The razor needs to glide black and forth across the skin like a ballet dancer across the mat or an ice skater across the ice. Padwan needs to ease up on the razor. Personna's typically very good blades to start with. I typically find them in two varieties, there is the drug store bought Personnas then there is the red wrapped personnas. You will know that you have a red wrapped personna because it obviously comes in a red rapper, otherwise you have one of the drug store personnas. Personally I think that the red wrapped ones are better than the drug store ones. Definitely hold off on the feathers until he has more experience under his belt and can do this without the irritation. I would recommend one of the Dorco blades or a Wilkinson blades. You will most definitely be able to find some Wilkinson blades in LA, I found mine in Bed, Bath and Beyond. No doubt LA has some of those stores. I would recommend getting some of those Wilkisons to try out next time out.

    Now on to that Agaua de Rosas, its from Razor and Brush at http://www.razorandbrush.com/barberiaaftsha.html at the very bottom of the listing.

    The great thing about the rose water after shaves and Padawan will like this aspect is that there is no alcohol in any of it. Its just roses and water.

    I think he might be the wrong gender to need to start douching.
