Result: 3.5/5.0 Right side chin nick and a clogged pore that might be a slight ingrown bump. We'll see. Flubbed the angle on crossing over to the right from the left trying to knock down a patch before moving on to the DE. The soap was fading a bit by this time. I'll have to try this soap with a smaller brush. The Omega might have been too much for it.
