M&F Sabini Polo
WR1
Feather
Martin de Candre - Le Bol en Bois
Chatillon Lux West Egg

West Egg was part of the /r/wetshaving trilogy of LE releases (West Egg SB/CL, Valley of Ashes (SW), East Egg (B&M) which I picked up. It has a bloody riotous opening of champagne, a strong highly volatile cognac note that hints at the acidity of a bottle of bubbles. Its a nice fragrance, probably not one for the office but a night out as it tends to hold the champagne vibe for quite a long time., I have the soap too but wanted to give the MdC a run as its a soap I really enjoy using as it has an exceptional level of performance and the wooden bowl always looks so smart when I see it of a morning.

Sunday morning relaxing shave. It is however, the final shave with this soap...

Shave went so well, I didn’t even open up the nick from yesterday’s idiotic manoeuvre!

That handle seats on that WR2 head flawlessly, nice work my friend :)

To be honest, seeing all yours made me choose this handle 👍

Its a really good handle, modelled on the aristocrat but James work is just flawless. My only want, which is addressed by the WR7 is the length of the handle. I have $1,104 AUD worth of WR2 on the way - I will take some pics in the lightbox when it arrives as its fully polished, WR7 handle, WRA2 stand OC. When my wife finds out, without any word of exaggeration I am in so much bloody trouble I can't bare to think about it but man, this razor was calling to me you know :ROFLMAO:

Be smart to round it down to about $350 I’d say.

What gap are you getting this time? My next one I think I want Brushed Satin, which I was going get first time round, but went basic polish at the last second.
