This is my second shave with the Green Lizard. I am going to hold off on a final determination on this, but I struggled with this razor a bit. It is a very light weight razor. It seemed prone to skipping rather than cutting, I think due to the light weight. I am going to keep using it, and see if it gets easier to use. DFS overall, but a little rough on the neck.
I ordered the soap and aftershave from TSD on June 30th, using the July 4th special. It arrived last week while I was out of town. Still in for No Buy July, but nice to get this in the middle of the month. Lather was great, and the menthol level was perfect on both the soap and the aftershave.
