Review - Barbarossa Brothers: West Indian Lime & Black Pepper Shaving Cream

Barbarossa Brothers: West Indian Lime & Black Pepper Shaving Cream I found this cream on Amazon for £12 and thought I'd give it a go. I was intrigued by the scent description which included 'a fresh menthol explosion'. On delivery, the most apparent thing was its small size (100ml) - total...

Paradigm SE Ti/Feather Pro Super/Graydog 25mm Quarter Moon/LNHC Orange Patchouli
La Toja after shave Locion/Al’Haramain Portfolio Neroli Canvas Eau de Parfum

​
A very smooth and efficient shave with the Paradigm. A really good performer with a Feather Pro Super installed while still being easy on the skin, deadly on the whiskers. The LNHC soap is just an excellent performer with a scent that just is fantastic. Fresh squeezed orange with an earthy undertone that feels like fresh cut grass in the early hours of the morn. The Haramain Portfolio is a dupe of the Tom Ford classic Neroli Portofino Forte. A bit more synthetic than the TF but, a better performer and no one would tell the difference an hour or two into the dry down. A fresh burst of Neroli, citrus, a floral element and woods that smell much more expensive than what it costs. TF Neroli Portofino Forte = $350. Haramain Portfolio Neroli Canvas = $50. Yeah, I have Filet Mignon tastes with a Big Mac wallet. I’m taking the Misses out tonight for some Prime Rib & Lobster with the $$$ saved. Win, win. A great evening and shaves to all....

Speed shave/Marco method....OC plate is interesting. I don't think it's as efficient as the SB but it feels smoother, less 'scrapy' for lack of a better word. Not that the BB is uncomfortable, this is just moreso than the SB to me. This'll be cool for those multi growth days...haven't shaved since Thursday, this got mowed down quick.
