History 101... I had high expectations for this, and it did not disappoint.. now, for me, the Black Ninja is not a blade to be trifled with, and this Summer Break Soap took everything in its stride... lush, slick, and protective, in fact, I made extra passes just for the fun of it.. can't say fairer than that, eh?

Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Wizamet Polsilver
Brush: 'El Monstruo' (Romera Manchurian 30/50 Fan)

Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax
a very satisfying shave, despite some very minor irritation... could be that the Wizamet is on the wane, but another shave with a different soap will decide it..
