Might give this tub the Visceral Watch treatment with Rocktober coming up
I might be repeating myself here, but I got to sniff This is Not a Test at the recent northeast meetup -- it's a great scent and I might grab a tub when it's back in stock.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Excellent shave for my first "14 Shoot-out". This razor has an Olympus edge on it that I created during this video. The idea behind my "Shoot-out" series is to put different edges on razors that all have the same bevel geometry and see what I think about the differences that I encounter with them.
With this Olympus edge, I mistook comfort for lack of keenness on the first pass. I did not realize that the edge was cutting as well as it was. This became very evident on the second and third passes. Overall, a great experience from my initial shoot-out attempt.
We never did find out the results of @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social's double blind testing. I hope he enlightens us after he returns from his break!
Me too! The last thing that I recall was that he was ready to identify what was what and to declare a preference. I’m in suspense 🤔

I love an anisic scent
As do I. We're in the minority I think.
I raise you an Absinthe - and so would djundjila
I’m honored to be among such distinguished company.
Have a good day!
Now that's an interesting lather!

Quick 2 pass shave because I was out the door for work.
