2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I did not care for the scent of this soap when I first tried it. I had an "aha" moment with it after trying the EdT, though, and now I fully enjoy the experience. I'm not sure if this product was short-lived or not or whether it will be released again next Valentine's Day. I think Will put himself out there with the concept of it - drawing on Marilyn but tuning the fragrance for a male audience. Not sure if he intended this but if you wore Chanel Pour Monsieur, smoked cigarettes, and spent the night with Marilyn back in 1960, you might get whiffs of this fragrance the next day.
