Hi
SWMBO likes the scent of C&E Sienna. She got me a bowl for my b'day a couple of months ago. At first I did not get on with it at all:
- Couldn't get it to lather well
- It didn't seem to provide much lubrication and cushion
- It gave a light stinging sensation on application of the lather
However, due to the scent and SWMBO, I kept trying. Once I got the lathering under control (using a boar instead of a badger, and less water) the shave itself was fine, however, the stinging remained. But lo and behold - gradually the stinging has reduced significantly, so much that I have no problem anymore using it.
Has anybody experienced anything similar?
