It is excellent soap Brian . The Natural one is my favourite the scent for me is lovely reminds me of Dr Jons Propaganda , the seaweed is good but some one gave me the tip to leave the lid off for a bit as it had a very seaweed sent, the seaweed fades and it became more Citrus.Your recent posts have reminded me how good that soap is. Just ordered some prior to Brexit

Hi @Missoni. I have retained an AS-D2 in my den for four years now, and can certainly appreciate your comments above. As you mention, the angle is not the easiest to find, and when I return to the razor, my first few shaves can result in a wee bit of stubble remaining. Once I'm back in the groove, I find it a terrific razor. In particular, despite its mild reputation, I find that it effortlessly scythes through a 5 day growth when called upon.Feather AS-D2

So I took the plunge and purchased an AS-D2 off BST. It must be the most traded DE razor going with many people buying them and shortly thereafter selling them. I suspect many AS-D2's have had dozen's of different owners. I was also aware of so many reviews where shavers give it the thumbs down. I was enthused by those reviews where shavers describe the razor as a precision tool and a system razor (i.e. to be paired with a Feather blade) that and fact that quite a few advocates of the razor are straight razor users in the main who only keep one DE - an AS-D2. Anyway initial impressions are good, I got the angle but will need practice to maintain it consistently. I will give the razor 3-months of daily shaves before making a decision if it is a keeper or I too join the majority and list on the BST for someone else to give it a go. I do think though Thomas from Denmark (an old shaving video; sadly he no longer posts) may have hit the mark on the AS-D2 though...
