Gillette Sensor 2 disposable
Dr. Bronner lime shave soap

2 pass rough BBS

Nothing wrong with the disposable, it is what it is. Whipped with the brush, this soap lathers up into something that looks like shave-worthy foam but isn't. It's slick but thin with no body or protection, and very drying. I've used countless bar soaps that perform better. Great scent but cannot recommend.

 

Nah, it's a fine hand soap or shampoo.
