2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I like this soap and fragrance, but the scent strength is on the light side. More European than American in that way, though Elysian is based in Pennsylvania. In any case, I think that the owner of Elysian appears to be trying to produce a quality product and also distinguish herself, somehow, from others in the crowded wetshaving space. I have two of her products and consider both a very nice change of pace but not worthy of an Austere August run.
Love the Frio 14. Thanks go to @djundjila for being the enabler on this.
