    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Great shave. Dragonsbeard is definitely different IMHO. I really like the lather. I doubt that the aftershave is universally liked. It has some ingredient that actually makes the skin feel tacky/sticky for a few minutes while it dries down. After that, whatever skin food is in there makes the skin feel great. I solved the tacky/sticky problem with talc technology. I like using talc. Except for instances like this one, though, it is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Enjoy your Christmas eve!
