Art of Shaving shave
The Wife received this little box of AOS samples at Sephoro, so I thought I’d give them a go, including the pre-shave oil. I’m generally willing to experiment, so…
Not bad. I liked the parts I expected to like, and didn’t like the others. Starting the shave with the pre-shave oil is something I don’t much care for, and this oil in particular feels gummy and hard to get off my hands. The shaving cream was fine and made a very good lather, thanks in part to the Omega syntex shaving brush. The Vision did its usual excellent job, even though the Swedish Gillette was a veteran of several previous shaves.
Finally, the finish with the balm—at first unpleasantly slick, unlike a splash of alcohol-based aftershave, but then it dried and/or was absorbed, leaving my skin feeling very nice.
Not a bad shave at all.
