Boom... now we're talking... BIG lather, lashings of BIG, slick lather, and another smooth shave... I'm not gonna push this blade any longer, as it has proved itself to be worthy of a bulk buy, when I can get my hands on some more... post shave is the usual Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve, simply because I love it so much, and Nemer is my fragrance of the day, because I'm worth it.. ;-)
