Hi Ben,
I’ve had it for a year now and though better in the summer it’s still a bit much for me. I like lightly mentholated soaps but I’d argue it’s the wrong side of medium/strong for me. My eyes and skin can’t cope with it! Don’t get me wrong if I was living somewhere hotter than sunny Nottinghamshire it would be amazing, but it’s not worth it for the weeks worth of hot sun we get, so I’ll stick with the none menthol versions!
All the best,
Lee

Lee,

Fair enough.

It certainly sounds like you’ve given it a chance.

Have a good Sunday!

Best,

Ben

First run out with the Era and solid bar #5 and it was good, smooth efficient with a bit of blade feel..enough to let you know its there would like to try the 3 or 4 plate but have the #4 comb to try next. Found the blade tab sitting out a bit more on one side but it didn't effect the shave nice weight and balance to the razor and the rubber bands give good grip. A&E Black.. slick and love the scent, these soaps whip up so well in a bowl with my synbad brush.

How are you finding it in general? I’ve found both the brass and aluminium both mild but efficient.

Hi Lee,

Mild and efficient is a good description, never felt it was going to bite me and it got rid of 2 days of beard in no time. Feels good in the hand, it has a nice weight to it and I won't have to polish it. So all good in my opinion, going to be using it daily this coming week to get a good feel for it.

Thanks, trying to be patient and sell stuff before buying on the never, never!

• Shaving Soap: De Vergulde Hand - extra fris
• Shaving Brush: Yaqi - Boar
• Saftey Razor: Above The Tie - S1 + Atlas
• Blade: Gillette - 7 o´clock
• After Shave: ACO

First shave with the Yaqi boar. Very nice handle but the knot was a bit too soft for my taste.

Thanks for the update. My 15s is in transit and I really enjoy reading the reviews while I wait.

How was the shave with the Eclipse?

How was the shave with the Eclipse?

Very, very good. I can't fault it. Better than any Gillette design (and I've used them all.)

Sunday 27th February

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Moon Soaps Sorrento Shaving Cream
Razorock 400 Limited Edition w/Plissoft Noir Synthetic 24mm
Yaqi SE DLC & Treet New Edge
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla Aftershave

Super shave, that! Coupling an honest, sharp Treet carbon with the Yaqi proved quite the aggressive combination and every stroke scythed through with just a sprinkle of danger. I liked it!

I don't have a great deal more to say about the Treet New Edge that I didn't already say yesterday - it's a click below the Treet Classic in smoothness, but every bit as sharp.
