Confirmed. This is a much nicer soap when the user doesn't eff up the lather. The solution was more soap, more water.

Have a good day.

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian 26mm Badger
  • Razor: ERN 207 (13/16", full hollow, round point) (23)
  • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Crangère - Soap
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Crangère - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles - Crangère - EdP

Close and comfortable three pass shave. This razor performs great.

Sorry SBS, but I'm going with Catie's Bubbles for my final vote in March Madness. Chris is a great member of the community, his scents are creative and excellent, and the premium base is one of the best bases I've tried. Easily the best vegan base in the game.

Have a great day all!

Incredible stuff. This is the best this razor has felt so far. Probably because the Premium base is made out of magic.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Wonderful comparsion between two straight razor edges that were created on slate finishing stones. The stones used were a Welsh Glanrafon and a New York Red. Both stones were fun to hone on and created edges that shaved identically. The honing experience on the Glanrafon stone, though, caused me to go out and buy one.
