What's new

Oh the pain, oh the joy...

...of Proraso AS. (The green liquid with alcohol.)

I'm a few weeks into str8 shaving now, and today took time for a nice leisurely shave - tried to go for BBS. Got close, but massive razor burn. That's okay; I'm still learning, so I expect days like this.

My usual post-shave is Thayer's toner and Proraso pre/post. But today I decided to try some of the Proraso AS. I knew it would sting more than usual because of the job I did on my face today.

Poured some in my hand, slapped it onto my face, heard someone screaming, realized it was me, and decided that this had been a bad idea.

But I'm glad I toughed it out and waited; within a minute, the pain melted away and was replaced by the most unexpectedly wonderful soothing sensation...

There's magic in that little bottle! :biggrin:
 
Here, here: alcohol-based *** are the only way to go. Suck it up all you wets; you might(will?) be surprised.
