Nice and easy does it!
The little Yaqi really works well, enough lather mixed up for more than 4 passes after about 25 seconds swirling in the soap. It easily whips up in the bowl.
3 Passes with the 6S without issues, very comfortable, I think I will easily get another shave from the blade. I am finding these RPL blades very smooth, although as said previously they do not seem over sharp. At no time have I been worried I could nick myself.
A nice post shave feel and I have used up the last of the Bart's Peppermint Lotion, I finished the Peppermint Balm the other day for me the Lotion goes a lot further than the balm.
I will probably not invest in the full bottles yet as I have others I prefer the scent of. I do like the post shave cooling feel but i am still finding it a bit sweet for me.
I finished off with the OSP Eucalyptus and Menthol giving that lovely cooling feeling.
BBS result and my face is very smooth and supple.
Have a great day All
