Result: 3.8/5.0 One nick on left side neck. I used the Lucky Tiger Lemon facial cream and it made the Feather ACD-N stick in that spot. I'm not going to use the facial cream just prior to shaving. It's much better as a night time product so that it has a chance to sink in. Otherwise, the shave was really good.
