Picked this can of Barbasol up the other day at the Safeway down the street from me. Its been a minute since I've used something like this. I sprayed some globs in my hand and wiped it over a wet face. It still felt fairly dry, so I splashed a little water on my hands and rubbed in the lather on my face. This actually really stepped up the Barbasol game. I don't know if this is a standard approach, I know I haven't done it like that before, but man what a difference. Definitely wasn't terrible.
The Nivea I've had for some time and picked up at the same safeway. It's not a terrible balm by any means. Prior to getting HoM - Z balm, this is what I'd use if my technique lacked during a shave and it has worked just fine for me.
The Evide Sonnant I chose for no particular reason to fit this. I'd thought about using a disposable to fit the theme, but at the same time I was curious how a straight would do with this kind of lather.
For an ideal scent, I want incense. I want to straight smell like I'm standing at the incense section of a head shop. A little something like: Frankincense, Myrrh, Patchouli, Dragon's Blood, Nag Champa, Sandalwood and Lavender.
