JUNE 2021 ACQUISITIONS

Gonna be trying the new razor and a new soap out of these that just turned up, not sure what blade I should try in this slant as I've never tried a slant before, any tips would be good ( I have most blades :) )

Kind regards

For an efficient razor which I presume the above would be, I'd look to pair it with either a Voskhod or a Astra SP, both of these blades are pretty smooth, if you need a bit more note then you dial it in for the next shave.

Perma-Sharp as I’ve never used it in a razor where it’s been nothing but great.
How’s the scent on the vegan soaps?

Its hard to say without using them, the lavender seems quite weak on scent, but could turn out to be very nice indeed, the wilderness one seems much stronger, it reminds me of a soap I already have, the TDS juniper, hopefully I'll have something more useful to say about it when I've fired them up :)

I like your style.
I never like to have too much stuff, so I have a history of selling lots and buying smaller amounts to replace. Over the years I’ve really got to know what I like razor wise, and actually im pretty content with where I am. I have 3 razors, 3 brushes and 4 soaps.

I reckon I’ll add to that with soaps but apart from that it’s only really a straight razor that would have me buying anything else.

Congrats with the 'Fatip Lo Storto' aka FOCS, imho a fantastic razor - smooth but very efficient. Just make shure blade alignment is with the comb, not the top cap... I have this razor for three month and absolutly love it.
My top 3 blades in the focs: 1. Gillette Platinum, 2. Rapira platinum lux, 3. astra superior..

Ok I had stuck a perma sharp in there for the morning, I might well stick a Gillette platinum or an Astra in it :)
I have looked at the blade alignment and it’s super easy to see if the blade is aligned to the top cap, struggling to see how to align it to the open comb.
