    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Even though it is Tabac Tuesday, I was feeling the Bomba this morning. What a terrific scent and lather this product has. The soap base is very aptly named (Crème Fraîche). It is a fun lather to overdo.

I can't say enough about the Iwasaki. I'm honored to have it, and it is a great shaver.
