It's great Celestino!
It nourishes perfectly and leaves the skin really smooth, yet not fatty.
Thanks for bringing this into my world.
And yes, I do look younger somehow...

First use of the Daishi, this morning....indeed, first use of any Kamisori. She's still waiting to go to Jamie for honing but I decided to give her first use on only the factory edge. What a surprise! Very smooth and sharp as she already is, however, I believe Jamie can add further to the enjoyable experience this razor is definitely going to bring to me.
