    Ill be shaving with all my coated razors next few days. The coating was a little thick on the posts. The blade was hard to get on and off. This razor is surprisingly good. There is certain feeling from the cutting action of this razor that i get from a few others. Its hard to describe but i dig it. Some razors shave so smoothly that you cant tell if it cut and they can be mild or aggressive. This razor cuts differently and its satisfying. But overall the shave was really good. I love this scent of this soap and i just got the best performance out of it ever. The scent has a clean mintyness to it. It feels like a summer scent and i can picture myself wearing linen pants and white shirt walking around with rope sandals drinking a freaking mojito. Hot damn! That my friends is a description!

    Gave the blade 70 or so passes on the strop this time. Blade is sharp but not as sharp as a Gem or injector blade. End result close but no BBS cigar shave. One thing though the shaves last longer than other blades.

    Agreed, and thanks. That's why I chose this scheme and the knot when I was designing it (Leo Frilot is the artisan who made it to my specs). It's my Captain Marvel brush.

    LOL! Thanks?

    I'm digging the idea of this shave and scent combo.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Old Spice Original Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
    Enders Speed Shaver
    Schick Proline B20
    CWR
    Granddad's Blend AS

    The Old Spice Original Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #199 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Shaver with a Schick Proline B20 blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
