being fairly new at this today's shave was amazing i sarted out by putting some big band music on the radio for that old time feel then i lathered up the col conk soap and brushed it effortlessly on my face. while the lather was doing its job i stropped my 6/8 red bimarck about 70 times re-latheres and began to shave. the blabe felt more natural in my hand than ever before and the blade cut clean and smooth without snagging i even managed to get my agt pass without cutting myself today was a wonderful experience
