Good Evening Gents,
Prep: Hot shower, Nivea face scrub and L'Oreal charcoal face wash
Pre: King of Shaves oil and bloom water
Razor: Fatip with ATT kronos handle
Razor blade: Rapira platinum (2)
Brush: "The Duke"
Soap: Saponifico Varesino 'Felce Aromatica'
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Myrsol Emulsion
Soundtrack: The thin white "Duke" himself, David Bowie 'Blackstar'.
Great shave and probably my quickest yet. The Fatip performed brilliantly with the Rapria blade, super smooth. The SV soap gave plenty of protection too.
Have a great evening. I'm off out on the razzle.
Cheers
Rob

OK - I've been watching to see if anyone mentioned this post, but it seems to have gone unnoticed - this is probably the rarest straight razor you will ever see. People dream of owning it - I can't compare it to a DE razor except to say for example that it's like finding a Darwin, times 100.

A shave of firsts... My first go with a Plisson synth (thanks @Dipesh) I'm no great fan of synths compared to badger but wanted to try one of these anyway and to compliment my L'Occitane software which has become my "go to"... Overall its pretty decent, whips up a nice lather in no time & doesnt drip water everywhere like my old Muhle synth. Also my first go with a Futur, all I can say is so much BS is talked about this razor on the 'net, I've read about alleged "design faults", terrible aggressiveness and inability to use it under the nose... All complete piffle! Easily the best DE i've used, felt less aggressive than an R41 but the result was equally close with zero irritation as a bonus it feels well made and looks pretty.
