Is that a standard handle length on your Blackland razor? Mine has already landed in Sydney 12 hours ago, hopefully, collect mine in the morning or around lunchtime from the parcel locker.

Imagine my annoyance when I noticed my Calypso top cap was not machined straight on either side. I don't know how this made past QC. I've emailed Gifts&Care to see if any recourse is available to me or if I have to go to ATT. Hopefully I can get a replacement top cap or a partial refund. In any event, this wonky top cap didn't seem to affect the shave as it was nearly BBS with the Feather (3). The Scheermonik scent was a bit strong on the spice.. reminded me of a christmas cookie. The supposed honey or black tea didn't really come through.

The Phoebus soap in Melon off the puck was reminiscent of Bubble Yum. Pity the scent did not persist. Pretty good cushion and slickness but not top tier imo.
