A great choice of razor combo. Sweet spot of OC with one of the best handles Gillette made. Deep woods classic musk finish. Spoiler going strong.

Aren’t you getting too old to play around with your model aftershave Jeep.

Aren’t you getting too old to play around with your model aftershave Jeep.

I COULD use aftershave from a glass bottle like a peasant but where would the fun be in that?

Now there's a challenge. Anyone?

I think with a claim like that, you should name and shame the culprit publicly. Given how much most of our soaps cost, longevity should be part of any performance metric. (Incidentally, I found Kaizen a bit under-strength like that, though it was nice to use.)

I'm keen to hear who it is too!

Pm me and I will send a pic to you. I don't want to mention the artisan publicly as comments can be taken out context. US$36+ shipping a tub, it certainly wasn't cheap. Fortunately it was a decent soap shave wise. I was not the only one who felt the same way. Other soaps by the same artisan, apparently same formula were fine and I can attest to that as my other soap from the same artisan was normal as far as usage goes.

A bit hard when I don't even know which way Kansas is. So I borrowed a pair of Mrs Pbgooses red shoes, put them on and clicked the heels together and it worked a treat. So I've got excellent lather, only trouble is now I've got no idea where I'm posting this from.
@Mark1966 , come and get me!

Hey @Razor Burn the RazoRock SS Lupo 72 is available at VSHOD now!!!!!

Good to see Vshod carrying the range at a decent price! I'm more inclined to wait for an adjustable but also curious to see your comparison between the Lupo 72 & 95.
