Used a pea sized volume of this sample in my Shave mug which produced an average lather for the first pass by dissipated a bit on second application. The soap is decent but not overly slick and the scent is slight indeed, I will probably but the whole of the remainder of the sample in my shave mug next time and use a synthetic brush which are not as finicky as a badger can be. All in all a decent shave finished off with a liberal splash of aftershave. Now off to sit in the sun on the patio with a mug of coffee, hard live isn't it? [emoji3508][emoji41]
I have not had many Shaves with this particular Micromatic, but am beginning to appreciate how good it is. I find that it Shaves very smoothly
yet is quite effective at removing my "Need to Shave Daily" beard. As it is also very forgiving I found that I completed the Shave quite quickly, yet the quality of the finished Shave was more than passable. This is really a good Razor for those need a dependable quick Shave before heading off for work.
