This was bought for me from TK Maxx for £6. Retails for I think £18. With a fair bit of trepidation I followed the instructions after a shower and washing my face with MB soap, my usual routine. It was not good, definitely not good. I could not finish the first pass. It was a new red Personna blade, so no issues there. The product leaves a residue very similar to tallow, so I lathered up using Prorasso cream and......REVALATION! I have never experienced anyting like it. For all you tallow lovers, it was like a heavy layer of tallow below the lather, stayed for a further 2 passes. Clogged my razor a bit, but rinsed easily in running water. The product has a cleaning element and the user is advised to apply a hot cloth, post shave, I think this is to remove the wax. Shaving cream? no. A shaving accompanier(?)/pre shave? Without a doubt this was extraordinary. Afterwards my face was soft, comfortable, clean and as smooth as I have ever managed. A thin layer will work for a 3 pass shave, for £6, go for it.
