DISCLAIMER

I am not called, and have never been called Fox, Darron, Douglas or Annabel (one of those statements is a lie)

but have you worked for the CIA ?

 

[Mr_Smartepants]

Pre: Hot Shower
Soap: CRSW "Vetiver Terreux"
Brush: Bethlehem olivewood handle, 24mm Pur-Tech synthetic
Razor: Ikon ShaveCraft 101 w/ SE handle
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel (1)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Fine "Fresh Vetiver"
SC-101 is on loan (thanks Steve!) and feels very similar to my OSS. The SC-101 may be slightly more aggressive but not too much. A very nice shave indeed.

Nice 2 pass shave. The blade was smooth and sharp. Very good!

My boar brush ate my lather, had to reload for pass 2.

I didn't see much difference between the two either. I think the OSS may be very slightly milder?
