Mike's Mittwoch with RPC. The scent is simple, the lather is fantastic.

Finally hit the bottom of this little sample.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Great shave today. The scent of Black Watch filled the room and the feel of the razor was safe, yet efficient. Can't ask for more!

I get cravings for this razor. My technique doesn't do it any favors, but whatever is going on with this razor works extremely well for me.

Later shave than I’d like, but overall excellent results. This soap is definitely nice to use, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the price tag.
