    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was one of those days when I really took notice of the spiciness in Heather. Such a distinctive fougère! Interestlngly (for me), I found the same feel for spice in the balance of the fragrance in Green Irish Tweed.

The razor today was the first Iwasaki that I bought. It has my Jnat edge on it. Sometime in the future, I'll do a comparison between shaves from my two Iwasaki razors. The other razor does not have my edge, but I bet the two are indistinguishable.
