After some initial trouble getting Mike's to lather, I got the problem solved. It's working great now. This morning I shaved with his Vetiver and followed with Guerlain Vetiver eau de toilette. Great shave with Mikes. Henkel vintage straight 6/8 in ivory. Super close shave that left skin feeling soft and comfortable. The Guerlain is absolutely the right follow up scent. I feel and smell great. Wish I had tried Mike's sooner.
