I had another incredible shave tonight with AION Skincare's new Maxima base.  The first pass was routine.  The second pass turned into two passes plus some touchups - all without relathering!  To be clear, I did at times dip the razor into lather floating in the sink, but IMO that is hardly the same as relathering.  As for blood, the disappearing red microdots from my first Maxima shave made their reappearance tonight, but were kind enough to once again make their disappearance by shave's end.  This is not unique to Maxima of course, but it is nice.  Finally, I found the soap scent mild, but easily discernible, and very pleasing.
