Decent shave, but this edge could use some work. 3 shaves ago I used chromium oxide to freshen it up, and my SOTD from that day said I didn't notice much difference. So, I'll try it again, and if that fails it'll be a good excuse to freshen it up on my synthetic stone(s).

Lyssa is a really great, unique scent. On the floral side, but strange enough for me to enjoy it. The Excelsior base is soo good.
