When a razor performs right away on the tough areas of my chin I know I am in for a good shave. When it moves easily or even relatively easily against the grain on my upper lip I get impressed. And when it leaves little for touch ups I bask in a fantastic shave. The Big Napoleon hit all three marks easily in today’s shave.

Wow Thomas, you really do have some nice brushes. I dig the Darth Vader and M. Red Custom. Excellent. Too bad the scents were not the best for you.

Thank you for sharing. Saves everyone from tracking it down!

I haven't seen you make comment yet. How goes the test?

Same here. If I have something to say it's in The 30 Day thread where there's Science & Testing happening, or a specialty discussion about specific razors or software.
