Not an invitation to certain members to share any of their pecaddilloes (unless you feel an obligation to do so, of course).
My earliest venture into wet shaving, as with many, I suspect, was via the "cartridge-with-canned-gloop" method. I'm a watch collector, and member of one of the many forums which cater to this particular fetish, and a while back we had an epic shaving thread, which led me in the direction of TK Maxx. I bought a Pecksniffs soap, which I continued to use until discovering this place, and having my horizons widened.
I'm now the owner of some Truefitt and Hill creams, which I enjoy using, and are so much better than what I'd become used to. I have been using a cereal bowl to make lather, but found that I was overdoing things a bit, and inevitably some was rinsed down the sink when I'd finished my shave.
Now I don't consider myself to be tight-fisted, but I don't like waste. As there was only a small amount of the Pecksniffs soap left, and I wasn't likely to be using it again, I cleaned out the bowl and used it for lathering the T&H creams. The Pecksniffs bowl is a good size and shape for making lather, and has a screw-on lid.
To the point of this post (at last, I hear you both cry). Left-over cream can be reconstituted with the brush, if necessary just adding a small amount of fresh cream. Does anybody know if the cream degrades or loses any of its' properties by being left (in a sealed container) and rejuvenated in this way? I tried this morning with T&H West Indian Limes and it seems to work quite well. If so, this would make the use of more expensive, exotic creams feasible, i.e. much more economical.
I have a second container of the Pecksniffs soap, unused, which I may sacrifice, and use the bowl for my T&H Ultimate Comfort cream. Unless there's a reason not to?
Regards
Ian
