    First use of the Chubby 1 and I need to sort out the face lathering bit. Great razor and blade combo and a fine 2 pass shave.

    A much better shave once I went back to the tub with the Chubby 1. Needs more water to dial in the face lathering bit. Excellent 2 pass shave! Love the New SC and LC!
