Was gifted some and finaly tried it.
new improved/new standard, platinum plus blade, and hadn't shaved in two days.
one pass bbs for me. I like that razor so much and this stuff is so lubricating I had to do a second pass and got a nick.
Slightly greasy afterwords, but it seems to be intended as a brushless shave cream with a built in aftershave balm. Smells odd at least the one I have does. Like outdated soybean oil.
