Comments: Today I had a two day growth because I didn't shave yesterday! I managed to get almost a full BBS with three passes except a very small neck and chin area that is more sensitive so I will call it DFS for sure! I used the OC side for first two passes then the CC side for the other pass/touch up pass in a jawline, chin and neck areas but not really a complete pass! Soap was very good too as this is only the third time I used CB! The lather, protection and feel throughout the shave and the post shave feel was also very good. No irritation or weepers/nicks! A great shave today!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.
