It's amazing what a different shave the Merkur is compared to the Gillette Tech. It's like driving a race car after running about in a family sedan.

Today was the first time I've used the Proraso. Interesting cooling/tingling feeling from the menthol, surprised me at first. Does anyone know if Proraso has inherent styptic properties? I nicked myself on the first pass and thus when I relathered I saw a small red dot in the cream from the nick, but after that it never bled again and normally those don't stop bleeding that quickly.

I hadn't used the NB in quite a while and I sure was disappointed this time... it just didn't seem very slick at all. This was the first time that I had used it in conjunction with the Proraso pre so maybe that had some negative effect on it.

How does that Green Pond a/s milk stack up to the Harris? I've heard it's like the old formula. I also noticed you tried the GP sandalwood- any good?
