Reconnecting with an old friend...

[elsmooth]

Strange title, I know. Here's the back story:

About 4 nights ago I was going through my stash and my eyes were drawn to my Proraso White tub. I picked it up, took a whiff, and thought to myself, "Man, I always adored the scent of this stuff ." It was my second shave soap purchase (bought back when I started wet shaving a few years ago), and I remembered how much I enjoyed it, and realized how long it has been since it hit my face. So I moved it to the counter, hit the shower, lathered up and shaved. It was a nostalgic shave (and a DFS, too)...kind of like reconnecting with an old friend. Definitely brought me back to my early DE days. I think I'll stick with it for a couple of weeks and then look around the den for another friend that I've neglected for far too long.

That's my story. I hope I've inspired you to look around your den...perhaps you have an old friend that you can reconnect with, too.

Happy shave!

Very original and nice post, Eric. By the way, your old friend will soon be replaced by a new one (the reformulated Proraso White tub).

Good story, Eric! I also feel the same way everytime I use Proraso. It was the first quality cream I ever used, and even though I dont use it everyday anymore, it brings me back to the memories of my first DE shave on those mornings that I do use it.
