Wonderfull shave. It's amazing how cheap products can be soo good. The Kruidvat shaving cream costs about $1,50 but is an awesome product...the skin food was a free sample and the cologne came in a trade. Onnly thing I paid serious money for was the razor...even the brush was about $5

This was shave #4 for me and my first 3 pass attempt going with, against & cross grain. Result - BBS! Everything just fell together today: Perfect stropping, beautiful lather and nice S-L-O-W, easy passes. My face hasn't been this smooth since I was 12!
