I like the Fatip Gentile a lot. It's a nice mild razor. Maybe not as efficient a Tech, but pretty darn good.
- Do you have a goal in mind for this blade?
  
  Nope, just using it because it's great and I'm not bored of it yet.

Superlative 3 pass shave from the Legacy. It's such a good razor.
The shoat knot is finally starting to feel well broken in. Quite nice to use as long as I load enough soap.
I like Mike's. I hope to pick up Vetiver when it's back in stock.

Razor: Puma 100
Lather: Lainess (Le Père Lucien) Blue Pearl
Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
Postshave: Eau Après-Rasage Blue Pearl
Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Forgot to post this yesterday. The soap is good, but I can't really identify individual notes. I should put my Puma back on the stones. The aftershave (which contains horse milk) is surprisingly alcoholic, and had a good sting to it.
@djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social, the soap is on the way, with triplicate customs declaration!

Post Shave: Seaforth! - Heather
I get a note from Heather that reminds me of anise, but it’s not listed as one. Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Heather - Notes: Oakmoss, Bergamot, Lavender, Coumarin, Clary Sage, Geranium. Which one of these would I be detecting?
- I find the Clary Sage to be pretty strong in Heather. It doesn't smell like anise, but maybe it has a similar sort of "sharpness" to it.
  
  Yeah I think you’re right. Not the same scent but that initial sharpness off the top.
