Superb shave today with the above kit. The A&E shaving cream is much softer than anything else I've used from a tub and is really more consistent with cream from a tube. I've had my best results today by scooping liberally and working it up in the bowl. The performance is on par with the best I've tried and the post-shave is basically flawless. I had zero burn (insert Kevin McCalister here) from the Brut splash, which tells you in no uncertain terms whether you've had a good or dodgy shave. A Christmas Miracle?? You decide...
