    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I got the idea for this setup from u/djundjila who used it on Monday. And kudos to you sir! I thought I would just get a hodge-podge of notes as I moved from (Mood )?Indigo to Cerberus to Black Watch, but there is definitely a thread. A bit like a curvy, scenic country road. I'm actually quite surprised how much I liked it. Of course this shave required a talc finish.

Ha! I knew it wasn't just me. This combination works.

I was more than a bit skeptical. That added more fun to the surprise of how good this combo is. I'll be going back for more in the future.
