First time using the Vito's I recieved off Antad, more Almond than Coconut, but what a lovely soap it lathers up like a meringue so rich and creamy with that glossy coating, I would say this is as good as Mitchells Woolfat, I love the smell of almonds so I couldn't go wrong really, now on to the shave two pass shave with minor clean up, super smooth shave from the feather i'm really enjoying using this razor.

Great to hear Bailey's spirit is coping with the treatment.

I do like a nice heel on a razor. Some talk of shaving around Van Dyke thingies and such with the toe, but I, on the other hand, cannot fathom that idea; the heel, for me, is the most usable part of the razor; I hardly use the toe at all....

If the toe were more like this 6/8 or this Vintage Ivory John Hall Straight Razor, Manchester that'd be an almost perfect shape, I say....

Thank you Sir! I use both heel and toe.
