2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I used to really dislike the weight of this razor. Today it did not bother me at all. Today I'm using a soap brand that I've not seen anyone else use here, but I bet @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social knows of it.

Yup, I have one full tub in the form of Shaman and got several samples a few years ago. The samples weren't that impressive in terms of lather, but Shaman seems to be a new/improved recipe for the base and once you get a good lather going (you really need to load heavy, it's oily) it's great stuff. Barber and Solstice are IMHO also really great scents, also available as bar soaps.

I know that it exists, never tried it ๐Ÿคท
