Hai Karate 'Oriental Spice' AS
Today's my fifth anniversary of when I started on my DE journey. Used a super back then, and figured I'd get this one out. Full circle kinda thing.
The only one I had is this Christmas version, which I bought around four years ago and never used. It's one of those where it's in too gooda shape to get wet, or it was till today.....heh. If it was truly mint I woulda passed it up, but I did notice a few very faint signs of wear and that was that. Really a nice shave. Hah, it woulda been ironic if the blade gap was off on this thing.
This shaving cream is a kick. I only use a thin layer for each pass, which is fine. Still plenty of cushion, and it's kinda fun applying it with my fingers for a change. Slip is good, as is the post shave skin care. The scent is still potent and sweet after all these years.
Oriental Spice was made to compete with Old Spice and it does a great job. I like this juice as much as the OS, and it was made in the 1960s.
So this set up worked out pretty darn well. Left me with BBS results.
