I had every intention of posting a shave from a random smush I was gifted earlier this month, instead my girlfriends parents recently came back from South Korea and brought me some shaving cream! I could have used the google translate to read the description and possible directions for use but I enjoy the mystery of it all. Apparently they asked my girlfriend if I wanted anything from there in passing and I asked for something shaving related, forgetting completely about it. It actually sent them out a a fun scavenger hunt through Seoul going from pharmacy to pharmacy using their hands and poor Korean to find it. I’m thankful for them.
On to the shave, I attempted to lather this like I do LEA, smear on my face and use a warm damp brush to build a lather, but this stuff just gummed up the brush and no lather this made. It really just seemed more intensive care lotion than soap in any form. Smelled like it to, every now and then I thought I’d get a whiff of commercial soap scent, but it would pass and go back to smelling like Jergens. Slick shave though. I did two acceptable passes with the Tech for an unsatisfying yet comfortable shave. Not sure I’ll be using this again anytime soon, but the sentiment was nice, and it got me another unique shave for LG!
u/cowzilla3, thanks for the old spice write ups, I think they may be what got me to jump from wicked_edge to this rabbit hole. Just really appreciate the effort and execution. I have an affinity for that scent as well and reminds me of my father wearing big wooly sweaters in the winter and smelling like Old Spice. Maybe soon I’ll buy some of that Indian stuff. Also am grateful for the easy mode Austere August challenge. I won’t be shaving daily but I’ll still post my shaves with the same easiest set up throughout the month, at the end I’ll also drop a donation in the Planned Parenthood basket. Not to mention the Air Bu……. Anyways, thanks for keepin it rad.
