Shave Result: As the scent name implies this lather has tropical scent of Coconut forward with Lime background, scent strength 6/10. The Bail BD179 shaved well with the 7o’clock SS blade with medium-mild aggression (similar to my 1950 SuperSpeed) resulting in clean, smooth, close DFS.

  • Brush: ShaveXDave “The Green&Gold” with 24/55 APShave Synbad Fan [A]
