The wife's investment
Looks like a lot of good advice already. Just remember that sometimes there is a lathering product that just doesn’t work well for you, regardless of how well it is liked by others. I’ve had a negative reaction to a couple of very popular soaps that I had to toss. I’m also not a fan of the very popular Proraso cream. Apparently it just doesn’t work well with my chemistry, beard, preferences, etc.
