Sample scoop part 1 of 2. This was a knob of soap left by one of Maggard's sample packing angels.
Dark chocolate dominates the initial scent. As I progressed, the other components popped out. The soap (Kaisen 2e base) performed very well.
Today was my first shave with FaTip Lo Storto Gentile (slant with a scalloped safety bar and their classic, hollow handle). Compared to il Piccolo Storto, this handle is wider (14mm vs 12mm, I think ) and hollow with less mass. The balance point is much more towards the head. I initially didn't like this at all.
The razor performed well and was very efficient (more than 37C) but was more forgiving on the angle. This will be a better daily driver considering early morning, bleary-eyed shaves.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
