Greetings fellas, it's been a long, long, long time since I've logged onto good old b&b. Sorry I've been gone so long, but between adjusting to fatherhood and my company being deeply impacted by the recession, it's been a rough nine months or so.
Since I've been even more strapped for time in the mornings, I've been sticking w/the regimen and products that I know I can count on everyday. I haven't been experimenting w/anything new, nor have I really been taking advantage of my significant collection of creams and soaps.
However, that all had to change this week when I used the last of my favorite ASB. I really liked this stuff (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?ltr=C&t=26264), which unfortunately is no longer made. I found if I used a dollop of this stuff, along w/a drop or two of rosehip oil, that it was the perfect balance of moisture that my skin needed. Needless to say, when I finished the bottle I was quite disappointed that I wouldn't be able to get more.
Anyway, my wife's been shopping a lot at TJ Maxx lately and she told me about this new skincare line for men that she'd been seeing a lot of, y-spa for men. They come in black and silver rubber-like bottles. The silver parts look cheap IMO, but the black was ok. Anyway, they finally went on clearance near me, so I went ahead and picked up a bottle of their aftershave balm for $6. So far it's not bad, a bit on the thick side, reminds me of AOS, takes about three pumps for enough balm for my entire face. Lightly scented, but doesn't stick around, and it's not too bad.
I did a search on the forum, but I couldn't dredge anything up about this brand. Does anyone else have any experience w/this brand. Their website is either yspa.com or y-spa.com, can't remember which. All I know is that they're canada based, and they sell alum blocks and shave cream/soap that's meant to be used w/a brush, smelled kinda old spice-ish to me. Was hoping some other members had some insight before I spent some more $ and picked up the rest of their line.
Thanks all for any info you can provide, I'll be coming around a bit more often now that my life has balanced a bit. Look out for quite a few items I'll be posting sooner or later in the bst.
take care,
