Yes, getting used to the heavy razor does build muscle. The Futur was my first and the Vision is even heavier I hear. Glad you liked it.

Conk Lime Shave Soap Technique: WTG/45XTG/45XTG Cleanup Post Shave Styptic: Tulumba Alum Block After Shave: Proraso Pre Post Shave Cream Result: 4.6/5.0 BBS with minimum redness. I had the Futur at 3.5. I bought the Cremo Cream as an experiment. I have a ton of regular creams and soaps that do as good or better job. What I wanted to try is not to make a super lather but use the Cremo Cream in a way it was designed to be used. I did my pre-lather and regular passes with the Col Conk Lime Soap. Nice but a little more drying than I expected. I then rinse off my face before cleanup and put on a layer of the Cremo Cream, added hot water and smoothed with my hand. I dipped fingers in water and added water as needed. Guess what? It did exactly what I wanted it to do. It made the cleanup stage super slick and the Futur just glided all over my face with my j-hooks and blade buffing to get that last little piece of stubble with zero irritation. With the Cremo Cream having a coconut scent and the Col Conk was lime, I had a tropical shave.
If you dig the DR Harris Sandalwood splash scent, get the Green Pond cream. They go great together. bernard66 over at SMF has called Green Pond Sandalwood cream the "most accurate" version of true Sandalwood scent there is right now, and I tend to agree with him. Granted I'm not nearly as experienced as he is, but there ya go.
I was talking about creams duder. I should have specified... my mistake. Although you've given me my morning shave tomorrow. SUPAHSANDAL QED Sandalwood soap + Green Pond Sandalwood cream O.M.G. :drool
