This razor recently came to me out of the generosity of my friend here, Mikael. It was a complete surprise in many respects: (1) because I neither asked for nor expected to receive it and (2) it honed up so easily!

The shave itself was a very nice one. Today was my first go with the Creed Shave Soap. It has the most wonderful aroma of any SS I've tried - a dead ringer for its namesake. The lather was slick, but not as thick as I'd like (first run and all) but left my face very moisturized. The razor was everything I could have hoped for. The Swedish steel took a very keen edge yet was butter smooth as it wiped away 2+ days of growth. I was left BBS in two passes! :rock: The topper of it all was the fresh, green scent of Piver's Vetiver; it played the perfect compliment to the GIT soap and has me ready to tackle the day!

Very nice, of course.

An excellent shave this morning. Managed ATG on my face with minimal effort - something which I couldn't do before . Trying a new grip and not using my left hand for it was the solution. Didn't even try ATG on my neck as that normally ends up in irritation (with a DE anyway) no matter what I do. So a WTG and 2 XTG passes left my neck pretty damn smooth.
