Great shave, this razor just seems to get sharper with use. Single pass with touch up of usual trouble spots.

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

After Shave Balm: RazoRock AS wax

Cologne: Bath House "Spanish Fig/Nutmeg" EdC

Results: This Bengall is always a pleasure to use. Max restored this beauty with all original parts and she still looks like she just came off the factory floor. The BH software was equally a delight to break out. Splendid scent and a great lather make for a wonderful shaving experience. The Bengall had absolutely no issues mowing the left over whiskers that decided to fly in the face of wisdom and challenge her. Another BBS and smooth shave. I am ready to hit the road and tackle what's sure to turn into a "nasty" Los Angeles commute...all for a 1.5 hr meeting. I guess some businesses have not heard of Skype .

Have a TERRIFIC Thursday gentlemen.
