Notes: First time out with the Jo Malone, I tried to bowl lather it and failed miserably.
I then tried to face lather it and again failed, I rinsed everything down and applied it like a soap and got better results.
Skin feel after my shave is lovely and soft, it's a new product so I will give it a few more attempts before passing judgment.
