Result: 1.5/5.0 I butchered myself! I can't believe how sloppy I got. April fool! I did have a tiny tiny weeper that laster all of 6 seconds so I have to give the shave 1 4.2/5.0. The Pre de Provence soap is very nice all around. It does need a little extra water then some other soaps when sitting on your face. Just means a quick tip dip in water and apply a little more soap to wet it up.
