The Art of Shaving Cream, Lavender Scent (And Omega Boar Hair Shaving Brush)
For most of my adult life, I bought whatever shaving cream was on sale, slathered it on with my face with my hand, and shaved as quickly as possible. This method frequently left me with razor burn and nicks. Why? Because I was using cheap shaving cream. That all changed a few month’s ago when a buddy turned me on to The Art of Shaving cream. Now every shave is like a mini-spa treatment. I get the water hot, wet my boar hair brush and get just a dab of cream. Then use the brush to lather my face before shaving. My shave is smoother, my completion is better, no more nicks, and my razor lasts longer. I smell good too. I actually look forward to shaving!
Yes, the Art of Shaving cream is more expensive than Gillette and Barbasol. A 5oz jar of The Art of Shaving cream costs about $20 on Amazon and the Omega brush I bought was $11. But the jar will last you several months if not more, and your razor lasts longer (if you dry it after use). In my mind, it’s worth the extra cost.
CamelBack Bite Valve
Review of the CamelBack Unisex Adult 4 Color Pack Big Bite Valve.
I just purchased this product to replace an aging bite valve. The old bite valve had a cut in it that allowed air in, making it difficult to drink. I was a little surprised that I could not find a black replacement, but the multi color ones work fine.
Very easy to install and are doing the job.
