Took a while to get here, but they are now !

A mild razor but does the biz when loaded with a sharp blade.

Feather WS-D1S Wood Stainless Razor HERE

Castle Forbes Keig Eau de Parfum 100 ml
I'm a tad meh about this if I'm honest. The scent is very pleasant but not very strong especially for a perfum.

The Castle Forbes Keig scent is a zesty blend of lemon, lime and bergamot essential oils on a heart of sandalwood and cedarwood.

Very nice. The Vanilla and Rose has my interest. Do please let us know how it performs and is the cream the runny or soft soap type?

As for the feather I used my ASD2 for the first time for a couple of months yesterday, it is a wonderful bit of kit, mild yes, but just great to hold and use. Glad I didn't sell it late last year when I was minded to.
Enjoy yours

If I can I butt in, it’s extremely soft but I wouldn’t call it runny

Excellent razors the ASD2 and WS-D1S.

Thanks Holyzeus. I've never tried a Simpsons soap ... It's on my wish list, I just wish it wasn't tinned as they tend to dent so easily.

They were my guilty pleasures, pure luxury

Nice! I would like one of those too!

More a modification than an acquisition:

I’ve had the Sabre handle bored out the whole length (up to the threads) to 7mm. This has reduced the handle mass from 75g to 53g. Obviously the razor is now more head-heavy, which generally I dislike but it feels notably more nimble which I do like. We’ll see how it shaves tomorrow...

Now that MDC is available in the UK I thought I'd give the Fougere a go and boy, am I glad I did. In a word, sublime. Works a treat with my Rx, the go to combination in my rotation now.

Like Holyzeus has said its very soft. I’ve had x2 pots Cafe Latte and now these two. They do lather up very well and all smell great. I will PM you for your address and pop a sample in the post.
