Ah goodie! Where were you able to source the Williams shave cream?
Honestly, I can't remember. I think it was on the bay. You can get it there now shipped for $20
Williams is always nice.

Shave #2
I used the Crabtree and Evelyn west Indian limes this morning. The lather was good but not as good as Williams. It worked well, the scent was really nice, like lime-candy.
I was about to pack everything for tomorrow and realised that I did not use any AS. So I grabbed the first bottle that I could get. It was the Deep Blue (Dollarstore) bottle.
So far, here's how it's going
SnakeBite = A double slap from Andre the Giant when he was on top of his game
Deep Blue = 2 slaps, one at the time from Hulk Hogan today
I'm aiming for a minimal to no slap...

I suppose that goes with the alcohol based product territoryI will be including a few balms when the west coast box gets to me so maybe you will find something you like.
Balms aren't my cup of tea anymore. There are splashes with no or minimal burn

Next shave, I went back to something I tried last time in that very box. The Real Shaving co. shave cream. Again, excellent shave cream, I would say, as good as Kiss My Face. I have no issues making lather with it.
For the AS, I had the Pitralon. This one is a bit strange. I had some kind of gasoline scent when I poured it. That went away. Then, it's some kind of floral-cologne type of scent. It's all right but I don't think I will be going back to it. It worked well, no redness or anything.
Tomorrow I should be back with something that slaps my face. I'm expecting Macho Man Randy Savage this time...

Osage is baby stuff compared to Snakebite...

Yes, I also did. Not to worry, I have a fair quantity of bottles at home. I like to look out for new stuff and that box is ideal for that!
Was it Pitralon with a dark green cap and green label?
That is the German one I think.
I picked up a bottle this past summer when over there.
I find it a nice healing AS with a pleasant herbal/medicinal scent. I was actually complimented on it by a lady one day.
I tried a sample of a couple of other Pitralon's but did not pick them up.

It's the Czech Pitralon. My mother-in-law gave it to me last year and I wasn't a big fan of the scent at all.
Have not tried that one. Looking forward to seeing how it reacts with me.

So, I also tried the Caffeinated shave cream and Vego. Both performed okay but nothing spectacular for me. I tried the Caffeinated cream back in the days in Australia. The formula wasn't the same as the lather I had was better than in Australia. Both were okay in the end. Williams is still the easiest IMO.
On top of that, I tried the Cat o'nine tails, a bit smack but snakebite is still the biggest one. Finally, as this is a 2 in 1, I went with Clubman Bay rum. Clubman doesn't sting as much, it's a bit easier.

All right, I have an exchange scheduled at lunch with [MENTION=45751]Comet[/MENTION]. We are meeting for lunch.
I took out the noxzema (or is it noxzeema, not sure) and Gillette AS Balm as no one had any objections. I will wait a bit before I recycle them...
I exchanged in the box the Yuma Razor for a RazoRock Little Bastone. I did not like the head but just the handle is worth it.
