Amazing soap, that TSD Bamboo & Teak. Even on the 4th pass, the brush was STILL generating lather with the soap. I've never had that before... it wasn't just using the lather that was stored in the brush, there was actually lather being produced on my 4th pass! Incredible!

Result: Very nice shave. 4.5/5.0 The Black Tip Gillette is a mild light razor but still feels better constructed then some other light razors I've tried. The handle needs some more work on it. I'm still getting a little oxidation off of it for some reason. I really had a hard time shaving this morning. I did some upper body weight training on Monday for the first time in a while. I am paying for it big time today. Sucks getting old.
