The razor and samples are now with me and I'm looking forward to giving it a try on Tuesday (I'm working at a music festival all weekend and have a final shave with the pass around Timeless planned first).

I'm looking forward to trying the Nacet and Lada blades with it as I've not used these blades before.

The sample pack came with two sample pots with circular red stickers on the top. I'm not sure what the samples are of - is anyone able to advise?

Great 1st shave with this razor this evening.

I loaded it up with a Lada blade and had a nice mellow shave.

The balance felt perfect and the stock handle suited my hand perfectly.

The only issue was blade alignment, and, based on earlier comments in this thread, it was easy enough to resolve.

I'm looking forward to trying an Astra tomorrow as this will help me to gauge how smooth this razor actually is. [emoji41]

Day 2 of using the Asylum Evolution.

I used an Astra blade today and the shave was smoother than yesterday, although I did notice some irritation afterwards. I really like this razor, but the blade alignment issue is a PITA. I managed to get the blade aligned by centring the hole in the middle of the blade with the hole in the cap. I still love the handle though, it's great.

Windrose make a Darwin handle for £45, although currently oos.

3rd and final shave with the Asylum Evolution tonight.

I started off my first pass with a Nacet blade and it felt quite harsh. I stopped the blade for the Astra I used yesterday and it was as smooth as the shave yesterday.

I've really enjoyed trying this razor out and, apart from the blade alignment issue, it's proven to be an excellent razor.

Many thanks to @Paul, @Andreas for organising the pass around and giving me the chance to try out this razor. It'll be on the way back to its owner tomorrow. [emoji846]

Thanks Wayne.

My thanks to Paul for the razor and to everyone for looking after it...
