iColoniali Aftershave Balm

SOTD.

3rd time used ever the "Hawk".

It was a better shave, nonetheless, still after my usual 5 pass ( WTG, XTG Left, XTG Right, ATG, and a clean up pass) I can't seem to get as close as with some of my others razors.

No irritation though with so many passes and do have to admit that on some instances I thought I had nicked myself, but to my surprise I didn't.

Don't know if it was my technique, the mildness of the razor itself or the pro guard blade.
