Mühle Rasurlotion and Speick. They're alcohol + witch hazel with a light fresh scent. The witch hazel makes me optimistic about the "plays nice with my skin" part.
Pitralon.
I would hahe been disappointed if you hadn't recommended it.
I think I had seen Speick in German supermarkets, so I guess I should be able to get this
Shit, I just read @[email protected]'s skin care advice on your other question (thanks Dave, btw!). I had forgotten about your menthol sensitivity. Speick has menthol.
No problem! 👍🏻
ADHD hyperfocus can be quite useful sometimes and this is one of my current favourite topics. If I can help a fellow wetshaver with my acquired knowledge, even better! I now plan to write a little skincare essay for our instance which I hope to finish around the end of this month, as I want to consult with some experts too.
Yay for skincare advice!
Indeed 😊
Looking forward to reading it!
I hope that I can keep my promise of finishing it in time. Will do my best ✌🏻
I'm wôndering though if this is sensitive to dosage: I have used Proraso Green preshave for years without issue, and AFIK AYLM's Marduk also contains menthol, but I did get strange skin feelings with both Don José ast Meissner Tremonia soaps with menthol.
Well, speick splash is a small enough investment to just give it a try👍
