For the longest time I put down my TTO's as I was getting better shaves with other razors. I must admit that I have fallen back in love with my Slim Adjustable, so much so, that I really look forward to using it. Two passes on my face, three on neck with some light buffing and I have a shave that Cary Grant would be envious over.


I have become almost a Product Evangelist for the the TSD Wheat Cream and Soap. Lather on this brush was made with about 10 swirls of soap, a dap of cream, and less than a teaspoon of water. I only worked it for about 45 seconds before taking this picture, the stuff just explodes in the bowl.
