Not much Tassie input into that brush, but I do have to admit it looks bloody nice.

From here, it's looking like the Nord Freyja has sort of captured your attention for the moment. I assume it's safe to say you don't hate it. Has it replaced La Faulx as your favourite razor?

Never


My favourite format is SE, but I have to admit that Freyja is really good, just like the other DE in my den. Faulx and Horizon are my absolute favourites.
