    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was my first time using the Marilyn trifecta, and my first time using the soap from a tub instead of a sample. I did not care for this scent at first, but it really grows on you. The EdT has definition in the top notes that aren't there in the soap or AS, and the scent lingers like whiffs of a romantic night the morning after.
