Finally got my modified 6S back!


Only problem is my Dad has removed the wrong sides of the plates and hasn't polished the base plate edges. I'll have to sack him

I'll polish the missing bits myself...

Thank you. Lucky for me CG has suspended production. Those in-stock SS handles aren‘t my cup of tea.

Bugger. Found one.

Floris No. 89 shaving oil, to take on trips instead of a brush and soap if it works well in a trial run next week.

Never used one, but that's a work of art.

Titanium with partial carbon fibre handle and two-tone baseplate.
Weight is reduced further over the all Ti razor from 52g to 38g, which puts it level with the aluminium Karve.

This looks nice! Any idea how the blade gap and efficiency compares to the Masamune?

Blade gap on the standard plate is 0.68, I believe, although it feels more aggressive. I've used the Masamune which was too mild for me. This is closer to the Nodachi in performance.

£2 something delivered via Amazon... Absolutely ruddy lovely stuff. Very strong Mysore sandalwood scent and a rich lather.

Strong purchase. I’ve been using it for years - if they made a Mysore Sandal perfume, I’d buy it this minute.

Definitely agree with that, it's such an addictive scent... Simultaneously strong yet subtle.

I've been eyeing this up but not plucked up courage to pull the trigger yet! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G2WB2GX/?coliid=I2K5MP0EWQ000C
