Three passes, no irritation. Not as close as I'd prefer, but good results overall.

Mint and grapefruit are the main notes with this combination. Just lovely for a summer afternoon.

Tub kill! (u/visceralwatch)

I had planned on killing this soap in concurrence with 100 uses on this blade, but boy did I get it wrong! I thought I had at least two shaves left in this tub, but it was only 1.
