After some years of using Traditional Shaving, today I decided to try this foam again. Keep in mind that I had previously used the yellow and red ones made in the USA. However, back then I had the Traditional Shaving as a second option and I was satisfied with the result. So, influenced by the Traditional Shaving, after my shower (soft skin and beard, anyway), I gave myself a good massage with plenty of foam and then applied a second layer. The rest of the tools, the razor and blade, were the same. I was shocked... The same blade, I mean, it didn't cut at all... Nothing, absolutely nothing. The blade pulled everything, causing pain. For my mustache, I had to remove it and use Proraso instead. A simple cream did a much better job. If I were to shave with a simple glycerin soap, for example, it would be 100 times better. (In case of emergency, try it and you will remember me). Fortunately, I didn't have any irritation. It's a shame though, because I remember the American ones as very good foams.
