Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1210

Been curious about this stuff for awhile and found myself in store that had this and decided it was time to give it a try. If I knew it was designed to smear on a face without a brush (I used one anyway) and go invisible I would have skipped it. It felt like it robbed me of my joy of the shave. Some may love it but it was a waste for me. Even if in a hurry I do not need to resort to a product like this. Not even worth mailing to give someone as the cost to mail is as much as the tube costs..............sorry but just such a disappointment to me. Maybe the stick is what I should have tried...........Life is still good though as Tim would say as the Injector saved the shave. Have a great day !

Back home again and the demo on the remodel is done!  Dust is so bad I feel like Clint Eastwood coming into town during one of those spaghetti westerns! 

Soap still looks brand new!

I have a bad feeling that even after a couple months of consistent use there won't be much gone!

Barrister & Mann Passiflora
Omnibus Base
"...Passiflora, an elegant, sophisticated, spicy fougère that plays on the green soapiness of galbanum oil. This unusual inclusion is buttressed with cinnamon, bergamot, rose, geranium, lavender, and tonka bean, and overlaid with the rich, tangy, slightly acidic edge of a truly fine passion fruit accord."

Sometimes we run headlong into a soap that is perfect in scent but lacks performance?  Well that is Bhang.  Love the scent.  I mean really love it.  The soap performance isn’t in the love-it category though.  A&E calls it shaving butter and that is exactly the consistency of the soap.  The container is just smaller than I like to try and load out of and assumed the last two times I’ve used the soap that was the reason for the poor performance.  Today I pulled a big old nob of the butter and put it in a bowl and loaded my brush from there and face lathered.  Nope, the issue wasn’t the smallish container but the product itself.  Super slick but the lather dissipates too quickly thus cushion is hampered.  Too bad but life is too short for mediocre soaps.  I suppose A&E just isn’t my cup of tea.
