I was able to get Marvy to last a full pass. I didn't like it even then. I thought it was too drying and not really slick. The smell to me was a classic soap smell. Note that I didn't say "good" I said classic. It smells like my Great Grandma's closet and she stored soap in there along with TP and towels. I will continue to use it as a super lather to help fluff up Kiss my Face and Cremo. They tend to have the slickness but not the cush I like and Marvy helps it with that.
