Not a bad shave, took me a while to get the hang of this cream though, it's very touchy with regards to water. It kinda stang my face too, don't think my skin likes the EO/FO in it, but another try will tell me for sure.

I had a Zen moment during the shave today. The stropping and shave went in auto pilot mode. It is hard to explain but the shave was a perfect BBS without any thinking about what to do and how to do it.
