    Thank you Gary! I purchased the preshave primarily as a post shave but now that I have to the splash I'm using the product as intended I find it makes a difference.
    BTW the new Red Balm will drop in Canada soon. Can't wait for that!

    The razor is Rhodium plating and the case we went with Nickel to allow for the case to endure micro-flex of the panels (for opening and closing) to avoid any breaks in the plating (it as told to me that Rhodium, while tough and rigid also can crack/break if a flat surface is slightly flexed). I deferred to their expertise and experience in plating these items. It's my prize razor. So beautiful. It, however, is not the easiest shave. I run the highest risk of raw/scraped skin from this razor than any other and blades just don't last long in it. I get 3, maybe 4 decent shaves then I have to toss the blade due to tugging. I still haven't found a perfect blade for it yet.

    However, I get fantastic shaves out of the Gold-Plated 1907 Gillette Old-Type with a Wilkinson Sword blade. And I love the two Super-Speed's I own. Razor Emporium did the re-plating on all my antique/vintage Gillette razors.

    This scent is very underrated. I recommend this one from the PAA pantheon of scents.

    Those Richman brush handles are among the best in this hobby. It's impossible not to really enjoy looking at them.
