Superb
I was worried that the second day in a row with the Vision would be irritating, but this shave was better than yesterday. I went slowly and lightly and it felt very smooth and comfortable. The splash did not indicate any burn and no weepers appeared even in the spots where I bled a little yesterday. Waves has a really nice aquatic cologne scent and the Cube provided a pleasant cool feeling and additional slickness.
