The CB premium base really lives up to its hype. So creamy, so slick, so easy to dial in.
Weinis and Reflection are a great combo.
Frio 18;
I don't think I've tried the Premium base. I have some of his Luxury soaps and they are great. I have Blugère coming and that's in the Premium base IIRC.
Are you planning to use the 17 all September? My plan is to use the same brush, but a different straight each day. [though, yesterday's R. Saito makes me want to use it again sooner than October]
No, I have shown weakness and ordered yet another 14, so that's going to get used, and I'll probably want to enjoy my den a bit.
I'll stick with the 17 for a while though. Enjoy the new razor
One can never have enough of these. I'm looking forward to it!
Me too! It's a vintage French 14, which I haven't seen a lot
