At the end, a nice shave.

OK, I dialed the Futur up to 3.5 and I used the Trufitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort shave cream I got yesterday. Is it a nice cream? Oh, yes, a very, very nice cream. Is it worth the price? Not really. There are cheaper creams and soaps out there that come close. It's unscented so this could also be used as a base for a luxury superlather.
