2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
SSL is the perfect summer scent. Today's shave was another test shave. This razor had a bunch of issues, and I was convinced that the shave would be lousy. Nope! Terrific shave from this razor. The video I made while working on the razor is quite long and will take me a while to cut down to size. I'll update this comment when that's done.
Here is the video.
Happy 4th to those of you who are Americans!
I'm curious! Looking forward to that video

SSL was such a stunner when it first came out, but Shawn has managed to make each Seaforth! scent unique and world-class.
