The Enders is a cool vintage razor and fitted with a modern injector blade does a fine job. I’ve used small magnets glued to an old cut down Enders blade as a carrier but how have you managed it?

L'Occitane Cade Shaving Bowl & Mohawk 5-341 w/PurTech Synthetic 22mm
Muhle Rocca Stainless & Lord Super Chrome
Pinaud Citrus Musk

Lord are the spiritual successor to (vintage) Wilkinson Sword and their chrome offering is probably the closest to the vintage Wilkinson Sword ... to my face, anyway.

It's sharp, smooth and delivers a mellow and forgiving shave. Not as sharp as the Platinum Class, evident by face-feel after the first pass but smoother. Smoother than (most of) their Super Stainless offerings, too ... Classic, perhaps excepted.

Enjoyed! Enjoyed a lot!

4923C948-6071-4226-93DE-A5543A3CBF35.jpegA wonderful 2 pass shave tonight and i just love using the sticky.
For me it’s one of the most underrated vintage razors,
Certainly not for everyone but for me it’s up there with the best.
And i’ll go against my best judgement and say it’s a better shaver & has a better history than the slim & fat boy.
but hey that’s just my opinion.
The brush for me is the most expensive i own.
Far to expensive, looks ok ish but the performance of the knot os first, definitely up there with the best i have knot wise.
Also i need to give @Ian T from the Gentlemen’s Groom Room a shout for stocking this wonderful range of soaps.
The scent & performance are first class.
Hopefully all you wonderful people enjoy your work tomorrow whilst i relax and chill out lol
Stay Safe Everyone

Razor: Atelier DURDAN La Faulx
Blade: Feather Super Pro, 3rd use
Brush: Yaqi Napoli
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Noble Otter The Noir Et Vanille Puck
Balm: Liz Earle Aftershave Balm Balm
Fragrance: Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man EdP

I think this will be my last shave with the delightful Atelier Durdan La Faulx. I went back to the Super Pro and the difference was night and day. Back was the smooth and simple shave, that you just can’t go wrong with! I really love the head, and it’s as good as any high end razor I’ve tried so far, the finish is just superb. The head is pretty unique in my limited experience, I just don’t think you can get the angle wrong, it guides you to the correct position every time. I’ve not mentioned the handle and the dimple is perfectly where you want to place your fingers, the balance is spot on.
This was also my first try with the Noble Otter The Noir Et Vanille. This is amazingly strong of the soap and even better when lathered, I never thought I’d enjoy a tea scent! This is going straight into the top of the shopping list come pay day! Soap and splash!
