    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


The SV soaps are really wonderful. I don't know how to describe the scent of Cubebe, but it has that Italian signature to it. Absolutely refrehing and perfectly suited for a hot summer's day.

Today, I tried my second of four stainless steel razors. Like yesterday's stainless shave, this one was excellent. Again, I could easily use this razor for all of August.
