Vetiver and sandalwood shave. Excellent results, I like Mike's.
We'll never know. I finished the one tuck of them that I had and didn't note where they were made.
Man, such a YMMV thing. I got great results from Bolzano + Legacy! 😂
Interesting. Could be worth revisiting, it’s one of my favorite razor/blade combos.
Though Lab Blues work well for me in pretty much every razor I’ve tried.
Wow, that really turned out great!

The Legacy is such a fantastic razor.
Yeah I agree.
I've still been experimenting with the "slurry lather" that sgrdddy talks about. A super wet brush, less soap than you think you need, and keeping it wet as hell on your face.
It works really well with Fanzine and creates a very slick lather. Though I think Fanzine dries out just a bit faster than some of my tallow soaps. It's still been giving me great shaves though!

Superlative shave. I made a super wet lather and got great results.
The spicy woodiness of Cubebe worked really well with Caravaggio as well.
Have a great Saturday, all.
Well, I’m happy to mail you another smush if you’d like. Just let me know.
