having found the original Noble Otter base to be superb, this new base does not disappoint.. I feel that the lather isn't as heavy.. more meringue like, I guess... slickness, and protection, I cannot fault... in fact, with the 34C HD/Super Iridium combo, a truly enjoyable, BBS shave was had.. post shave feel is fantastic, and I really didn't need to add anything else. Yep, even though I had no issues with the previous base, this new formula is a hit!!.. onwards and upwards!

WOW WOW WOW.. now that's what I'm talking 'bout! ‘The Rock’/Gillette Bleue Extra gives a sublime shave, and is one of my fave combos, and ‘Forest City Fern’ is quite simply impeccable, with a super wet, super slick lather... definitely one of my top performers... finishing off this outstanding shave is Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve, and PG 02 Cozé ... what a superb start to my weekend..
