1 pass WTG. Very comfortable. A socially acceptable shave.

In hindsight I used WAY too much soap, maybe 10x what I needed. Still getting used to loading different soap consistencies using different brushes... And this soap is nuts! Super different from what I have used before, so far I like it a lot a lot. The scent is intriguing, hard to describe. Very nice. My face feels awesome, if a little dried by my overuse of the soap.
