How do you find the Eclipse Red Ring? They are a highly regarded razor but some reviews suggest maybe too aggressive

Oh you definitely need one ;-)

@Pbgoose has one as well and might chime in. I would certainly NOT say they are aggressive, although they were advertised as adjustable - you simply don't tighten them as much. The handle is narrower (popular width rather than aristocrat) than I prefer and overall I would characterise it as good but not great.

Razor: Karve, brass, C-plate
Blade: Gillette - 7 O’Clock SharpEdge Yellow (2)
Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux - La Petite Prairie
Post shave: none
Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - La Petite Prairie - EdT

I got this fragrance last week. Great shave and an awesome scent. The only way I can describe it is similar to Guerlain Vetiver, just even better.

Have a great day everyone!

Another boring, same old, same old lavender based SOTD ...

... oh, hang on - it is Two Kings - again!

Well played sir ;-)

Are we to understand that your 'infantile obsession with lavender' is finally broken ?

Dream on. :LOL: I do like my lavender, so I guess this is an aberration. Two Kings is a very nice soap, though. However, I believe the scent has changed. My last tub was from a different formulation, and I had assumed the only difference was the colour. Hang on, I'll find a pic. Here we are:

...But the scent now has more of (something like) a coffee element to it. Still nice, but not quite what it was. :(:unsure:

@Holiday , Definitely going to look the Eclipse out for tomorrow (if I can find it). I wouldn't call aggressive but I wouldn't call it mild either. I only shave with it in the mildest setting (handle adjusted right up). You need to find the right blade match as well. From memory I think the Nacet was blade of choice for me for this razor. I think the challenge would be finding one in good condition at a reasonable price.

Enabler! I am a big fan of Guerlain Vetiver; more pain for the hip pocket ;)
