Result: 4.2/5.0 I weeper at bottom of neck. I put a chunk of Rick's scream into the middle of the brush and face lathered it. More lather than I know what to do with. The screams are like super lathers and give the best of both worlds of cream and soaps. Nice job. I passed the A/S stage and just slapped on some Rose Petal Thayer's.
