Royal Mail extended the period of anticipation here....didn't arrive today. But all comes to he who waits.
What DID turn up (along with a certain badger based application device of German descent) was 100ml of green Proraso pre (post?) shave http://www.shaving.ie/pre-shave/
I can immediately see why others have noted distinct similarity to Noxzema...feels much the same - both on the fingers and on the phyzog. Smells similar. Ingredients list isn't identical but many shared items. But it has to be said you get bucket loads of Nox compared to the Proraso...pound for pound the Nox wins hands down. And the shave itself didn't provide a vast improvement with the Proraso....in fact I'm not sure I notices ANY difference.
Will be very interested to try Nishy's product. I wonder if you'll be marketing it on a small scale sort of way? Would imagine bods would be happy to cough up for a decent and interesting home produced bit of gear. Knowing how much my Frankenoil costs (not a lot) compared to the tiny bottles of oil you see in the specialist shaving sites I'd imagine you wouldn't have to charge a fortune to cover costs and make a little something on top.
Will report safe receipt ASAP.
