This is an interesting French razor. I like the handle but I'm not totally sure about it overall. It's in excellent condition though. The soap on the other hand I have no issues saying weather or not I like it. I really like it l. It has a mild scent but it's wonderful and the scent lasts. I can still smell it now and then and it's been over 8 hrs since I shaved. The lather was really dense and performed quite well too. Not real airy like foam or whipped cream but not quite Greek yogurt in consistency either.

Schick Adjustable/Schick Twin (3rd)
Stirling Oud Sigma/30mm Tuxedo
Mentholated Witch Hazel
Stirling Friends to the End Balm
Stirling Oud Sigma Cologne/EDT
Reached deep into the back of the drawer this morning, needing something maneuverable around a nasty blade tab slice from yesterday's shave. The Schick Adjustable fit the bill, small compact head, making it super easy to avoid that spot while obtaining a 2-Pass BBS shave.

Cobra Classic AC
Feather Professional (7)
Paladin Pk-47 Select Badger Brush
Soap Commander Honor in shave stick
Proraso Green aftershave lotion
2 pass DFS 10/10
Decided against a 3rd pass as the Cobra can and often does bite ATG. Just not worth it.
