A nice easy DE shave. This soap base is really easy and enjoyable, and I love the scent. I think these soaps were considered "glycerine" soap which typically doesn't have a great reputation. Maybe this is an exception, because it's really quite good.

What a great razor. Very close and comfortable shave everywhere but the chin. This was my 45th straight razor shave, and we're definitely making good progress!

Lime is an excellent scent for warmer weather. I'm glad I picked up the set.
