Electric Shave. Smells good, looooong better than the Williams Lectric Shave. The main component for sliding is the same which carries the Lectric Shave. I want to try it as a pre-shave, just for curiosity. We will see if it is useful or not. One time I tried Lectric Shave and was not bad, but nothing special, nothing relevant. Men, this product has nothing glamorous. I have not tried yet. But slide at hands a lot. An strange, rare feeling. Keep you informed.
Gentlemen, I just tested the Electric Shave. Here we go with science.
A few days ago I applied it on the face but not shaved. Just to see what happen. It is absorbed or evaporated quickly. I think it must take a lot of alcohol. The formula is very simple. Provides an interesting freshness that lasts a long time. It was at night. The face and hands were left with a feeling of interesting slip, but were dry , apparently there was no greasy film. This feeling was a bit strange for me, I usually not use these products , or other pre-shave products . We're talking I did not shave, but after an hour I washed my face . As for the aroma, very good, but I do not know how to describe it.
This morning , with 36 hours beard, I proceeded to try it as pre-shave. In half face. The right side. I usually shave in the shower, I'm a "shower shaver ", but today I did out after the shower, in front of the sink and mirror, to check everything well, and for that product does not wash with shower .
I selected the gorgeous L' Occitane Cade soap, and a couple of brushes that I just restored (later I will post the photos). A brush for each half of the face, for not to contaminate with the product, and the test was better. Both Finest Badger knots, but from different suppliers.
Regarding the blade, I selected a Schick Super Krona from my friend Lambretto, which is not the smoothest one, or the sharpest one of which I have, but which provides a performance in the average or slightly above the average (it has been BBS).
The razor , the very reliable Weber ARC, a brilliant razor, which shaves closer with great smoothness, which makes good even to the bad blades. With UFO TiTAN handle.
So with all the equipment in front of the sink, Sunday morning, unhurried, massaging myself with Electric Shave in half face, lathering the other half face while it evaporates. The freshness of the massage is clearly seen . Finally, lathering the half face with Electric, and going to shave. My passes as I usually do . A razor edge for each half-face, not to invalidate the test. First pass, second lathering, second pass, thirs lathering bottom of the face, and last pass and retouches in difficult areas, changing directions, leading the lather with left hand from one area to another .
Very good shave, BBS. Although I like most in the shower. But doing it in the mirror without water running down my back has allowed me to hear the sound of the Weber haircut . Normally the sound of the water in the shower did not permit that.
On the product tested, the Electric Shave, I have not noticed significant differences in one half of the face versus the other. I do not know if there are, but I have not noticed. It must be said, a nice freshness, it does not spoil the foam, since it has evaporated quickly and you can lather the same way as it is not a greasy film . But I have not been able to find differences about slip issue.
Finally, I applied a generous dose of Agua Balsamica and now I feel I'm in heaven, in a Mediterranean heaven. I touch my face and yes, maybe I notice a little softer half face in which I have applied the Electric Shave, but the difference is very subtle, very subtle. I tried it with both hands, and corroborates it, a little softer the half in which I applied the Electric. But is not determinative, it is not scientifically proven, perhaps suggestion, because I have called my little son, who knows nothing of the test, to pass his hand over my face and he says I have softer the half face on I have not applied the product. You see. This is what I get. I do not think it will be a product that I will use a lot, because usually I do not use pre-shave products . But I know who to give it away.
