Another wonderful shave with the Mediterranean Sea as my personal jukebox playing in the background.
This soap is second to none. This particular scent doesn’t really connect with me, however the soap is amazing. Specially the post shave sensation.
These shaves, while being away from home, they are turning out to be sensational.

Mama Bear Grapefruit Ice Supplied by @rockviper applied with a badger brush crafted by @Sparrow over on The Shave Den
Remington cartridge razor (Handle by @Ricksplace) loaded with a Shark Super Chrome blade
Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel
Nivea Men Sensitive PSB

This was my first experience with Mama Bear. It had little scent, with not even the menthol coming through strongly. Since I'm not a big one for scents, this was a good thing. The menthol was mild, with a pleasant cooling sensation developing towards the end of the first pass. Performance was good but not exceptional. I originally tried it with the EJ Super Badger from @rockviper but that brush was to soft to do more than tickle Mama Bear. A brush with more backbone was required. But today everything went well - DFS in three passes.
