It's a beautiful razor. Best polishing job on titanium I've seen so far, The efficiency is somewhere between a Karve C and D plate, and the shave is quite smooth.

The Romulus shaved quite mildly with the Kai blade but it was smooth and efficient, I did find the handle a bit skinny which became uncomfortable so I swapped it for the wider Yaqi Midas AL handle for pass 3 which felt better for my hands.

I love CF soaps and was always going to buy this one but was never sure whether I'd like the scent.
What are your thoughts on it?
I own Ghost Town Barber and Sherlock which I really enjoy.

I really like resinous scent. I use this shampoo, purely because I like the scent (https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/...dwin-anti-dandruff-shampoo-coal-tar-treatment). I'm happy to send you a sample if you like.

Behold the magnificent resurrection of the irreplaceable artifact, the illustrious Jilli Spencer's shaving bowl, meticulously rejuvenated through the alchemical wizardry of cyanoacrylate!

Indeed, you can just see the crack to the left of the knot. I've been thinking of making a mock kintsuge effect over it with black Sugru with some gold filings rubbed into it for effect...

Thank you for the offer. I might just stop procrastinating and order it.
I want to get more of their unscented balm as well. It's one of the best I've used.
