Superb Shave I'm more impressed with Krampert's soap after today's optimal shave. The scent bloomed better than yesterday, I think because I used less water on the puck while I prepped. The lather monster easily made yogurt that provided a nice set up for der Vorschlaghammer to smoothly mow down my stubble. So far in my experience, this razor is the best combination of efficiency and comfort I've tried. I finished with Krampert's Finest Bay Rum and I feel and smell great. Prep: Proraso White Soap: Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum Brush: HIS lather monster Razor: Der Vorschlaghammer Blade: Astra SP AS: Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum
