Result: 4.7/5.0 Wow, took some old and took some new, put them together and came up with a great shower and shave. I was one happy camper this morning. I'm still rubbing my face six hours later. I got a bunch of stuff from Appleton Barber Supply last night and went nuts last night and this morning. I used some moisturizer last night. A little goes a long way and don't put it on just before bed. The other items I used this morning. The super dandruff shampoo is weird. Put it on dry hair and rub in thoroughly. Add water a little at a time and you'll get this really thick creamy lather. Rinse well. The 3 Purpose Hair Tonic with fine oil was just what I needed to replace the discontinued Special Formula Hair Tonic I love so much. I checked with the manufacturer and there isn't any more so this replacement is a good thing. Finally, you want minty menthol in your aftershave? Wow, this certainly delivered the goods and it's a cream. Using the West Indian Limes Shame Cream and then finishing off with the Vanishing Cream and Citrus Musk Aftershave. My face felt great. Even the dentist this morning commented on my shave.
