2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Today is the Hungarian Grand Prix. A Formula 1 race just demands the use of Undercut (a F1 term), and I haven't used this soap in a while.
This was a test shave with the little Tonsorial Gem razor and it was terrific. It's a little sports car which is fitting for the theme of this shave. Anyway, in case you're interested, I made a video.
