    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

I'm thinking about using this soap, splash, and brush for AA. I like the idea of using r/Wetshaving-related items. What's holding me back is the WS-23 in the aftershave. The use of the cooling agent is very well managed and subtle, but I know its there. I'm not sure whether I want 31 days of it. I also like that Guerlain Jicky was used almost entirely by men when it was first released and then became a unisex sent well before such things were common. Something to ponder.

I intend to Friodom Ride and ride Headless for AA, but this DE shave was a nice change of pace. It takes me the same amount of time to shave with a DE as it does with a straight and my shave is less close with a DE these days. I never saw that coming.

Feather blades have always been good to me. I used them solely for several months before deciding to try other blades.
