Hello watermark. I really like the scent of GFT's Sandalwood. I have a few different makes of sandalwood edts. Caswell-Masey, Crabtree- Evelleyn, Taylor of Old Bond street, to name them. I like GFT the best, with TOBS a close 2nd. The sandalwood, really comes through, and the top, middle, and bottom notes all compliment each other, very well. I know that scents are different from one person to another, but , I would highly recommend this EDT. Good luck, watermark. John

Result: Not perfect but a lot of fun! It's like shaving with a velociraptor claw! The extreme smile and small size of this razor allowed me to take the tight corners of my jawline and adam's apple like a 5 year old takes a cookie: effortlessly and with great zeal. It fit so well into my corners I sliced myself good on the buttcrack of my chin, never done that before. It'll take some adjusting but I see this being a permanent addition to the rotation.

Hello Bassguy. That R. Saito SK 1, is one awesome looking razor! Wow! How does it shave, with that wicked grin /smile, that it has?

With such a small blade and such a nice smile to it, it almost felt like cheating, it was so easy. I felt like I could control it and go anywhere i wanted, any direction, any angle, it was great. I now know what the big deal is with smiling blades
Stropping was also much easier than I anticipated. NO boomerang action
