2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Seaforth! Spiced is my second favorite Spearhead scent, Black Watch is my favorite. I have SSL and Heather as well. To be able to use Black Watch (yesterday) followed by Spiced makes for some pretty nice shaving.

A few weeks ago I got samples of B&M's two new seasonal soaps (Adagio and Presto). I liked both but ended up buying a full tub of Adagio and the matching balm. I definitely like Adagio, but after continued use of my Presto sample I'm finding myself wishing I had gone with that instead.

Man, not a good shave at all today. I think Personna blades are just a flat out no for me, regardless of the razor. Still on the fence on if I prefer the aggressive or mild Henson.
