    I have, or have had, the 3 dupes you referenced in a few different forms (SS, AS or ASB). My favourite for just the scent is B&M Barrister’s Reserve. The others are nice as well, though.

    The only Canadian vendor I was aware of for them (without looking very intently) was the now mothballed Canadian Blade Co.
    Mine came via Randy @BaylorGator .

    Saturday Shave: Keeping up the run of smiling razors, today's razor is a 8/8 from Mike Martinez. Castle Forbes is one of my favorites but I always wondered what it would be like with tallow :signs002: so I made a super lather with AoS tallow and :happy093:we got a winner. The edge was just like velvet today, the plants aligned and gifted me with an epic shave.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A+ Smoothness A++ Sharpness A+

    Razor: Mike Martinez 8/8
    Strop: Roo
    Brush: EDBIO Kent BK12
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: AoS Tallow + Castle Forbes
    AS: Enhanced Florida Water AS, Speick ASB
    Scent: Chanel Pour Monsieur

    Great shave, Andrew. The MWF/AV is a winning combination.
