đ Shave Summary
Today I experimented â Ares did the with the grain pass, while Athena took on the across and against the grain. The result? Absolute success!
I only had one deep cut on my upper lip with Aris, purely due to my own carelessness. However, the overall experience was excellent and the BBS result, like only Athena has ever offered me before.
The BBS Black Mamba scent was incredible â so much so that I placed a second order for two more sets!
đĄ Observations
- The combined use of Ares + Athena performed exceptionally well at the different stages of shaving.
- The only problem was cutting off due to bad movement â the machine is unforgiving.
- BBS Black Mamba and the new Black Mamba fragrance are at their best.
