BBS - 2 passes + touch-up on neck - nice shave... Love my CELLA!!!
I did the "lather - wait 2 minutes - lather - shave" routine - seemed to help soften things a bit...

WOW! I have nothing but great comments about MNSoaps. I think I found my absolute favorite ss right next to MWF. MNSoaps is like MWF but infused with Orange Rinds. I couldn't really smell any cedarwood or black pepper. I guess the Orange is pretty overpowering and citrus usually acts as the primary scent/layer. But that's a positive in my book since Orange is my favorite scent. I really do want to get other scents from MNSoaps but I'll wait. Well Gents, I hope you all have a great day!
