Great shave this morning with this razor. Its a cool little razor that is light as a feather. Im glad i picked it up and encourage anyone who likes mild-medium razors to get one. The soaps were tidbits of soap that I mushed together and the cremo well i like the freeze it provided.

Bbs smooth and im feelin cool & crisp

The rubber ring is a little dried out but no it doesn’t leak. I’ll get a pack of them to replace it eventually but it works just fine. I wish the Clubman label stuck to the glass as well as the Barbasol one .

Neither, it’s my Russian Taiga - my favorite razor. Smooth as silk

Thank you gentlemen. I am a huge Pink Floyd fan as well and had to have this one in my den even if I didn't like the performance or aroma. But both are right up my alley.
