@ekeko , I've thought about pulling the trigger on this soap as I love the original MdC fragrance and love vetiver. Is it a very smokey type of vetiver or a sweeter version? I've smelt both types in various products with vetiver.Monday 4 December
I decided that I would start using the single edge GEM blades since I have several types of razor, vintage and modern, that will take these bad boys. So today a lather catcher from Kampfe Brothers. For the GEM to work, you need a form of wedge which will allow the blade to fit properly. I got a few sets of 3-D printed wedges from the USA and hence duly modified the blade after first pulling off the backing strip.
I’ve decide that Martin de Candre Vetiver is probably the best soap that I own. Beautifully creamy lather with an exotic and lasting scent easily applied with the ToBS badger.
The shave was ok, mild if I’m honest but without issues. I needed to finish with my Schick twin cartridge though as the Star wasn’t really getting the result that I wanted. I’ll move on to the ER type hoe this week as these are definitely a step above the older Star type razor when using a Gem blade.
Enjoy the day fellas!
