Comments: The shave today was very good! I started out with the GD on most of my face areas to get a feel for it again. It worked pretty well but seem to take awhile to get the areas cut down! I used it for about a pass and a half as I am trying to get used to it. After that I broke out the ATT H1 plate which took care of the beard growth without any problem. This is the first time using this soap as it was just given to me and I received it the other day! I will say it is pretty good soap and I had no issues with the scent (which I cant quite pinpoint) or any burning and no issues with the lather, protection, slickness and even the post feel is real good! I managed to get my DFS with only slight irritation in one spot and I think that was from the straight but no weepers!

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.
