1 pass WTG. A socially acceptable shave but not as close as I would really like, especially lower down on my neck.

Proraso White is a very pleasant scent but the jury is out on whether it works for my face. Certainly on my first use it felt less protective than most of my other shaving soaps, but then again I have not had great luck with Gillette PermaSharp blades yet.
