2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my second use of this exact setup. I paid a little more attention to lather quality and to the scent personality this time around. I was struck by this being a woody, heavier scent and not the lighter, citrusy scents that I associate with Italian themed fragrances. Nonetheless, I like it a lot. It is definitely an all-rounder for me.
Today's shave was a shave test with a newly-honed C-MON Special owned by u/coco_for_cocoapuffs. Great little razor that gave me a very close comfortable shave.
