every shave. the razor itself is weighted right and feels solid while using. the oil has a pleasant scent, and i am excited to see what new scents come along. now, the shave was good the first time. human error! i have since gotten much much better and do now find the shave close, smooth and amazing. i also shave more often as i look forward to it. so i am super happy i tried and look forward to years of using the soap. many thanks.
