The last 2 shaves I started lathering on my face and I think I like it better. Two shaves in and I think I can already feel when the lather is ready.

After using pure Witch Hazel for 2 weeks, I'm going to go with Lucky Tiger for the next 2 and see if there's a difference.

I also started using my right hand more and so far the results are pretty good.

Result: 4.2/5.0 Quick shave toady. Got to work late. Ken soap was nice. Since the brusj is so big I pulled the puck out and lathered it in my hand. Not the easiest thing the world to lather but came out fine. Even better when it rested a minute.
