Love the evergreen juniper, 15 seconds loading up the brush made for four very nice face lathers, it likes a bit of water this one but had tons of residual slickness left after each pass.

Have a great day all.

And a very anniversary to you and Mrs Paul
 
Gillette Cool Wave is the first ever splash I bought in my teens in the 90's, and I have a very soft spot for it still. The Indian made one is supposed to be a little different from the original one but it's still a very nice splash nonetheless.

I wasn't one for much more than shaving with a Wilkinson Retractor and whatever bar soap was kicking around whichever bathroom I found myself in. But likewise, once I'd bought a "nice" Gillette Sensor, I am pretty sure that Gillette Series Cool Wave was my first splash.

I have a bottle of Wild Rain from that era (circa 1993/1994) - remember that the original Cool Wave was different graphically. This bottle is from the second release - they sold as Crisp and Fresh. I think that graphical refresh came with the Arctic Ice circa 2000? This bottle is from this second phase but still has proper oakmoss in.

I started shaving and quickly found if I didn't use an alcoholic post shave product I'd get spots and bumps, still something which I still get. I remember buying the Cool Wave myself when I was 14 or so, so that'd be mid 90's.

I still love good marine style splashes probably since my association from Cool Wave.

Interesting it might have been your first splash as well!

I love their graphics from the 90's. Does the real oakmoss make a difference?
