2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Rookie Card has quite the goal for its fragrance; attempting to recall regular trips to 7-Eleven for slurpies, candy, and baseball cards. And recalling the aroma of "cheap, minty bubblegum and powdered cardboard".
I liked the soap and the scent, but got none of the nostalgia. I'm in the wrong generation for this.
Accountabilibuddies!
I really like the idea of this challenge, and I love u/Impressive_Donut114's idea of a group soap experience to meet this challenge. I learned of it, not though u/Impressive_Donut114's original PIF, but through u/raymoonie (thanks!). Thanks also go to u/Josiguuh who was able to share some of his smush so that I could participate today.
A group of shavers experiencing a new soap? Well this is what the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club (BVWSC) is all about! This happens over on sub.wetshaving.social every month! Much thanks to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social for all his administrative efforts over there.
Finally, thanks to u/J33PGuy13 and @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social for including me as part of Operation Moarteen. That was a fun project!

That soap description sounds fantastic
I thought it would be horrible tbh. In reality, though, it was more subtle and interesting.
