I love the Mystic Water scents, and when I dial in the lather, it stands up to the best premium soaps in my den. I am never quite sure if I've got the lather right; it forms differently from any of my other soaps.
Tonight was spot on. Even the against the grain pass was effortless - a beautiful shave!

With the release of a new Kent Infinity+ Synthetic Brush I decided to take the original for a spin and it was better than I remembered. I then had a shave of mixed fortunes.A momentary loss of concentration resulted in a nasty cut. I stopped with 2 passes and a DFS+ finish as it is just not right shaving with pink lather. For the first time in a very long time a styptic pencil came into play. I will put this one down to experience and try again later in the week.
