Great tips!
I've been changing between the TOBS and Proraso since I got them, and I'm liking both!
I have also changed how I apply the cream, following some advice regarding the Palm Olive stick, instead of using the brush to whip up the lather straight from the bowl of cream, I'm getting a bit messy and sticking my fingers in, and lightly smearing the cream over my face. I have found it lathers much thicker (not watery like I used to get) and the amount left on the brush is easily enough for a second pass.
I've also found by doing it this way, my skin feels slightly powdered at the end (which I like) and the smell that is left is lovely, I usually wouldn't smell what's left, but even my friends have commented on 'what aftershave am I wearing', which is great because I wasn't wearing any, it was the smeLl of the shave haha.
You'll probably laugh at me now, as no doubt that is the way its 'supposed' to be done? ;-)
Thanks again for great advice, once again, from TSR.
