Result: 4.5/5.0 Much better than yesterday. No nicks or weepers. The Institut soap performed very well. Left my face nice. Need to try it with a stiffer brush. Same thing for yesterday's Erasmic. Both need a little stiffer brush I think. The Institut did better when I let it sit in the bowl a little before applying. Smell is family neutral.
