Thought I’d revisit my only remaining adjustable and my 2nd razor a Futur clone. It was a perfectly acceptable shave, not as smooth as I’d hope but I’m guessing that was more to me being out of practice with it. Definitely milder than the actual Futur but will be added to my rotation again now the Blackbird has flown!
The Wicstun was lovely, the Signature base really is one of my best and is easily as good or better than many of the the big USA or European artisans I’ve tried. It lathers quickly and easily and the scent is a lovely blend of citrus and patchouli, which I was unsure as to how they would work together however neither overpowers the other and this is just spot on! All and all a lovey Sunday shave!
Enjoy your day guys.
