Palmolive Shave Stick

WOW! Here is another amazing product. My friend Pete ( over at http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk ) mentioned how cheap Palmolive was and offered to send me a stick over.

Here are some tips he gave me on how he used them:
1) Soak brush
2) Wash face, lots of hot water, leave wet
3) Wet the stick
4) Paint soap stick on face like a big crayon
5) Shake (some) of the water out of the brush and then face lather.
6) Shave away!

You will have to experiment to find the right amount of soap and water for you.

I followed his directions pretty much verbatim and on my first try, I came out with a very lush lather. The scent is nothing to sneeze at either. People describe it as being classic but very clean scent and I would have to agree.
This stuff is uber cheap at $6 from someone in Britain and I highly recommend you pick one up if you can find a seller for this low of a price!

Thanks again Pete!
