Adjustable April Non Arko Tabac, B-400 WD HMB '59 Fat Boy, Personna MP Alum block and Canoe AS Skipped the Arko today. Is Tabac Thursday a thing? Easy lather and I like the scent. Though it's a hard soap I felt like getting luxurious so I swapped on the High Mountain badger ferrule. With a fresh Med Prep blade three easy passes & a little clean up brought me to a DFS. Been using the #195 long enough errors are seldom and the alum was quiet. Splash of Canoe for that Barbershop scented finish. Good Shaves Y'all!
I had the same thoughts this morning. I avoided them for so long, as they just don't look like much, but they can shave smoothly. I am glad I finally picked one up. It was a $4 from a local antique store just before the holidays. Well worth it in my opinion.
Do you have a Futur as well? Everything thing I have read about the closes is that they shave as well (some say even better) as the Futur. I would be curious to see a direct comparison. Congrats on the new razor!
I have had both, (still have a clone) and to be honest I couldn't tell them apart if the NT Vigour clone wasn't black. It also doesn't have a positive stop on the adjustment, so it can be cranked up to infinity. As if anyone could possibly need it to go past six, lol. It is nearly a devette by that point anyway.

Excellent setup Adam. Good idea using a spreadsheet to track your shaves. I'll have to look into that. It doesn't surprise me that @clint64 also uses that method.
