the almond I binned tonight, the most expensive soap or cream I have had to toss. It was crummy in performance. I gave it one last try this morning with my 53 tech and "5 0" labeled English Wilkinson sword blades. those blades in this razor are like heaven.
Miserable shave, lots of nicks. Such a bad shave I tossed the blade. Once the burn had passed and a few hours as well, I tossed the cream out, and lathered up the stuff stuck to the sides of the tub. super wet badger, got a decent bubbly lather, I tried another pass with a great razor/blade combo. got a few more nicks.
but I discovered that the moment the lather hit my face it was instant burn. lasted several hours as well.
Now my cella has a bigger house. but ironically when I got that cream out of its tiny tub, it basically filled the whole taylors tub. it GROWS. smells different on the bottom, more almond then "sweet smell".
