It has been a while since I've used a BIC. Very close shave, but that's probably more due to using a Tech.

I loaded what I thought was a ton of soap, and it ended up just being on the high side of average (3.2g, average is 2.8g this month). Excellent lather as always with this base.

These averages seem high, no? I remember using my Moar Boar for killing Varen, and using about 1.5 g per day

I'm above average
