    Barbasol shaving cream

    Some things are more expensive in Thailand than in the real world, one of them is shaving cream. Must be the import duty or something ?

    Anyway 6 months ago I was poking around in Tesco Lotus and came across Barbasol shaving cream. First thing that caught my attention was the great price. 130 Baht for a large can.

    I had never heard off or seen this stuff before so I thought it worth giving a crack. I soon found out why it is not common over here. This is because all the other brands are shit compared to this stuff.

    It is far superior to any other Shaving cream I have ever used. The richness and texture blows Gillette and other brands straight down the shitter.

    The Septics have kicked a winner with this stuff, been around forever apparently.

    I suppose the big players don't sell it simply because they would need to throw all their Gillette stuff in the bin.

    Barbasol Shaving cream, Give it a crack.

    Damn -
    Haven't used "proper" shaving cream for years, as I don't find it terribly practical.
    Find shaving to be a chore - indifferent.


    My tools of choice:

    Someone was having fun sending them Arctic Chill...

    Apart from the weather, they'd never be able to pronounce it...

    Maybe they'd think it's pepper spray...

    One less thing to pack on trips, thanks Terry.

    Anyone who still uses a cut throat razor from choice needs therapy in my opinion Jeff !

    Terry as your a bit of a metrosexual on the side could you keep your eye out for something that helps chaffing of the panty line, the missus is always complaining about that on hot days.

    I use this stuff too. It's good stuff but it gets a bit warm on the nads after a few minutes.

    Can you recommend a range of decent moisturizers, plucked at random from your manbag, terry?

    Na Mate, I don't do Moisturizers.

    I don't do Em because I'm well hard and hard men don't do that poovs stuff.

    I do love to use Barbasol to shave my Man sack though.

    Fookin good stuff for that.

    Real men use shavers. If you don't give a rats metro-sexual pedantic anal retentive ass about a few missed hairs foil shavers are quick and do a good job.

    I've been using barbasol over here for 5 years now.... Won't use anything else. If it gets difficult to find a I just email the importer and he either sends me some or gets his staff to find out where I can get it. I normally buy 3 cans at a time and give one away to a mate to try. I first saw it in Russia in 1994. Excellent shaving foam and superb value.
