Hubby also uses Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream along with a Merkur 34C double-edge safety razor (gotta love the Germans) and Wilkinson Sword double-edge razor blades. Nivea after shave lotion is a must. He has a salt ‘n pepper beard now, so he only shaves once a week.
I’m trying to love Americans more than other nationalities. That doesn’t mean I dislike German or even the Chinese people. Chinese products are always the last choice for me regardless of price. If you buy Made in China you are funding the CCP. I have worked in China in the past, about 10 weeks per year for a stretch of six years. For the most part, I found the Chinese people are just fine, but they do not know freedom and there are horrid human rights abuses. We Americans fund those abuses with every product we buy from China. The CCP gets its slice of the money in each transaction.
We could end the CCP simply by not buying anything from China. They would go broke. But that’s not possible. We are too reliant on there products. I have to take a life sustaining drug that used to be made in America. It’s now only made in China. There is some major work America has to do to onshore a lot of businesses so that we are not essentially held hostage by CCP.
