Remington Alphagel Sensitive Shave Gel


This came in a tube similar to sunscreen as opposed to the aerosol can.   I have to guess that is “greener” than the can.  The gel goes a long way.  You do not need much to get a very slick feel on your skin.   I don’t know if it was the aloe but it felt good on my skin and the razor glided over it very nicely.  


They claim that it is a benefit that it doesn’t foam so you can see through it to trim beards, mustaches and sideburns.   I didn’t see that as a positive or a negative but if I had a beard or a mustache, I think I, too, would see the clearness as a benefit.  

This worked as well as my previous brands and had a nicer feel.   I did not have any skin reaction to it so it does appear to cater to sensitive skin.  I liked the product and would consider purchasing it.   My normal shaving cream is Nivea for sensitive skin and that seems to be considerably cheaper than the Remington.  Nivea is $5.49 for 7 oz while Remington is $13.89 for 10 oz.  which is $0.78/oz vs. $1.38/oz.   Priced the same I think I would prefer the Remington but the price differential would be a deterrent.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
