You better slow down using this aftershave splash, while our greatest serving Queen for 70 years is resting in peace, because, there won't be another bottle lying around anymore waiting in your den.

You better slow down using this aftershave splash, while our greatest serving Queen for 70 years is resting in peace, because, there won't be another bottle lying around anymore waiting in your den.

Never mind, the Empire is nearly finished, time to move on to something new.

SOTD – Sun 4 Jun 2023

Shave Result: The soap texture is soft croap style, so I was able to quickly produce a creamy lather with medium density. Lather gave great primary slickness, residual was reasonable, overall excellent low priced performer. To my nose the scent is a wonderful fresh aquatic herbal aroma that reminds of some spa salts, lather scent strength 4/10. After four shaves the Legend SE razor performed wonderfully well with medium to mild aggression with some blade feel, all my shaves were smooth and efficient with near BBS results and minimal irritations.
