    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I continue to stick with my strategy of voting with the underdog. And I happen to enjoy the Stank®.

My talc brush had enough talc from yesterday to give me a talc finish for today. The Pinaud is so fine that it is easy to overload a brush and create a talc bomb with it. There's often enough leftover powder for another day.

The Iwasaki continues to impress me but I've decided to tinker with the edge to see if I can push it in both comfort and sharpness.
