a quick review on Burts Bees Bay Rum shave soap and balm. the soap lathers well and has a plesent aroma as does the balm the soap how ever lacks in slickness and coushining the lather colapsed and my face and this was after a showerand my face was clean and i used the bloom water as a preshave face conditioner. After one pass i called it quits for the night my face was on fire. i had a new blade in my MR5 v2. i've used this soap when i was using cartriges and desided to try it with DE. The one saving grace was the blam no wonrd thay sell the two together the witch hazel and other esential oils shure calmed the face down and eased the burn. I will be using the balm again just hope i can find it with out the soap.
