Smooth
This was the first time I've used Gondolier sosp since version 1.0 - I miss those 8oz tins, but the soap has improved quite a bit. The scent is one of my favorites, but I should have used a new blade. It felt fine during the shave, though I nicked my mole, but the splash burned more than usual. It was the fourth shave on this blade - I have gotten as many as seven on a voskhod, but I usually stick with the three and out rule. The lather was very thick and dense, with plenty of residual slickness. The balm left my skin soft and smooth.
