SWMBO has excellent taste.So, SWMBO expressed her liking of the Freshwood AS last night and again when I applied some for scent this morning. Looks like a permanent member of the rotation now!

In general.....how do you find the AS-D1?27 April
P&B SpitfireThe well loaded Omega brush held more than enough soap for two passes, and the Feather razor took just two for a clean, smooth shave. Perfect (nearly).

Fuzzy's the administrator over at TOST. There's loads of SE goodness over there.The verdict?..Absolutely superb!..After watching a great youtube demo from 'Fuzzy Shaves'I really like Fuzzy's approach to traditional wet shaving giving 'straight to the point' no-nonsence superb practical advice, i also like his humour too.
Give it a go, if you like mild and efficient you could love it. Mine works really well with a Feather blade, although I have read that it doesn't work at all for some men. If you have a good one, you'll have a new friend, and if not, nothing lost, it goes back into the box.In general.....how do you find the AS-D1?
In a moment of madness a some time back I bought one at the same time as a 2nd generation Ikon OC. I enjoyed the Ikon so much and heard so many opinions about the mildness of the Feather.....I never used it and it is still sitting in the original wooden box. Now that I enjoy mild//efficient razors more than ever.......I am tempted to give it a go.

A good birthday shave, although the Gillette blade is not as smooth as the Personna 74s and Light Brigades. With a nice rose smell, I'm off for a ferry ride, I hope with some sunshine.
