Discussion of the Week: “Summertime Shaves?”
It’s summer time!!!
- There are many items that compliment the higher temperatures.
- Choose soaps and creams that have a larger amount of menthol which gives the face a cooler feel.
- I personally enjoy lighter scents that have a nice blast of menthol to give my face a cool blast when entering the south Florida heat.
- What do you use?
- Let me know!!

Training Tip of the Week: “Traveling Do’s and Don’ts”
Summertime is upon us! It’s a time for new adventures and traveling!
Unfortunately there are many instances when wet shavers bring their prized gear only to have it confiscated at the security line at the airport or forgotten in a hotel room/rental car.
As a frequent traveler for both work and fun I have found the perfect median for traveling with wet shaving gear.
Do’s
- Get a Dopp bag. Dopp or toiletry bags will keep your gear together and in one spot so you won’t have to search around for it when you need it most.
- You can travel with full sized (4 oz. or more) shaving soaps in a carry-on bag. I have traveled from many places with just a carry-on and have never had any issues with soap.
- Bring a safety razor
Don’ts
- Bring aftershave over 100ml (3.4 oz) on a carry-on bag.
- Bring a straight razor in a carry-on.
- Bring DE or SE blades on carry-on luggage. This really is a hit or miss. You may make it through and you may not.

What is your favorite summer time product?
My favorite summer product is: Proraso GREEN soap, filled with menthol and eucalyptus. The menthol really cools my face and is very comfortable.
