    That's why I want to give it at least one more try. Probably with a new Feather or KAI blade and the Wickham.
    I love the look of the razor and the stand is awesome too. I've used Shavettes and straights so an open blade isn't really an issue. I really like the DE form factor for a shavette too. Just not sure were the issue is.

    Just let the razor glide it might have been a touch too much pressure. You should be able to feel that blade work.

    I tried to like MWF for months. Never did it for me. Try your go to soap and a fresh blade. Put on some smooth Jazz and go with it.

    Off-topic, but MWF is much like the veg. Some are chosen, others are not.

    Interesting. I am a chosen one for the Veg. I guess it was one or the other for me.

    Happy with what chose me. The Veg ROCKS.

    Pinaud lilac vegetal after-shave. A scent best described as rancid cat piss and old church lady. Those who are chosen, and there are very few, have a chemistry that makes it smell half-decent.

    So what you are saying is my nose does not work properly. That explains a whole bunch.

    Thank you for setting me straight. :angry021:

    Well now with this social distancing thing. I think I will wear it more. Nobody around me to be offended. Come to think of it there never was before. :angry032:

    Plus it probably sterilizes the air around you.

    Sounds like an Unique scent profile. I know Arko and Tabac have a love them or hate them scent. I liked Tabac right from the start and have grown to like Arko. So maybe the Vegetal is worth a shot.

    Yes you have to try at least once in your life. You could be a chosen one.

    Now I just have to find some. The area of Mi. I live in seems to be devoid of most of the good shave products. There are a few choices here and there but not much.

    Check your local drugstore. Possibly Walmart as well.

    You know... I was going to acquire a bottle of the Veg once, but you guys scared me off. Maybe I was chosen to never buy the Veg. :scared007:
