    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Huge trip down memory lane for me today. The 40+ year-old soap still works well, and the strong alcohol splash just felt great. I had to top it off with the talc that most reminds me of barbershops of the 60s. Very nice shave.

Old soap twins! The one I used is considerably you get than yours, but it's still 5-10 years old, give or take.
