A BBS Great Shave!!!

* I learned of these shave sticks over at B&B. They are quite popular over there, but no mention(I think) of them here at SRP. I've been a bit reluctant to mention these products here(don't want toget kicked out of the club), but WOW, if you're in a hurry and don't want to go through your normal lathering routien, these Shave Sticks of Charles' at QED are fantastic. FYI, his scents are the best I have found. If you like Bay Rum, his Bay Rum conditioner (balm) doesn't get any better.

I don't think you need to worry about mentioning products. We do it all the time. That said, I have few shave sticks from Charles. The Vetiver is outstanding. I prefer a puck/tub for daily use, but the sticks are great for traveling. I think Mama Bear and DR Harris offer sticks as well - along with others I can't think of right now.
