Good day gents. Nice 8/8 Fili and I'm always a sucker for a kamisori. This razor was a gift so I have been trying to find out who the maker is. Shaves like a cream puff.

Thanks Mikael...I am looking for something that has a real (not synthetic) Sandalwood scent and from what I hear and read, The CS has got it down.

Bruce,
You big tease...You know I am in the market for this Salter Rose and there you are, flaunting it in front of me, LOL. I got an idea from Mikael about the Sandalwood, but how do you like the Rose scent? Is it as divine as they say?

Beautiful blade btw.

Thanks Robert! Yes, I find the Salter Wild Rose SC to be delightful. It's performance properties are excellent and the scent is mild and not sickening sweet as some are overwhelming. I think you will enjoy it and it's quite a large tub for a very reasonable price. Enjoy!

Thanks Robert. I meant to say last week, thanks for showcasing your Max blades for us. Truly beautiful, have we seen them all?

Rene, thw Ern is one of those razors that I have a hard time getting there, but once its there, its sweet. I gave it 100 on the C12k before I went to bed last night, just got to wait about 10 more hours to try it out.
