Alex, is the Sándalo in the S or F base? Frank's website has it listed as F base, although sold out. Anticatura made no mention of F base.

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Erasmic AP Shave Co Gelousy Bulb 20mm
Soap - Arko Stick "Pipe-bomb"
Razor - Mühle R41GS
Blade - Bic Astor (Ελ.)
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Kilbreck - Neroli, Rosemary & Jasmine
A/S - Copycat Just Neroli

Using the Arko Stick crayon style in the repurposed empty glue stick holder then face lathered, it took on a lot of water and produced enough for a 3 pass shave, the lather was thick and creamy giving plenty of protection.
Today i took my time trying to find the smoothest angle from the R41, coming from riding the cap onto the edge, i surprised myself on how smooth a shave i got from the Stainless Mühle. I managed 3 comfortable passes.
A nice post shave routine without any indication from the splash.
Happy with that shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday all.

I was also wondering about this when I ordered. Definitely F base and the scent is fantastic.

I was hoping you'd say that, Alex. Thanks.
Hopefully have mine this coming week.

First use of the Copper Ice T3 and it's even better than my Faux Ivory. Glue bumps can be devisive, but coming from Manchurian grade, this brush has lovely scrub without sacrificing splay. A keeper.
