Yes, Barbasol. OK, so I used the version in the can. I even used the Soothing Aloe version with the green barber pole stripe. Call it a concession to modernity.
Actually, call it a concession to availability. Last year, my son's teacher assigned him a spelling exercise where he had to write out words in shaving cream sprayed on a plate. It didn't make any sense then, either.
However, rather than sacrifice my usual Edge Gel or Gillette Fusion Shave Gel, (whatever Costco has when I need to re-stock), I bought a cheap can of shaving cream. Before that, I hadn't used Barbasol since college, when I selected the brand based on a rational analysis of whatever was cheapest.
To my surprise, it worked pretty well. My cheapo Quattro felt less smooth when I dragged it across my face, but the shave ended up just as close. Of course, the proof may require a few more shaves to see if any irritation creeps up.
Can you possibly stand the suspense?
