If you are looking for a truly excellent shave - protection, glide, and slickness - you found it.
Why not 5 stars? The scent. While this is a great scent, there isn't enough of it! At best it is mild on the puck and during the first half of the shave, then it disappears too soon. The balm is great as a balm, but, again, dissipates far to quickly to be enjoyed. On the other hand, maybe that's what you want - something that won't interfere with your cologne.
