@alfredus.. it seems the issue was not with the razor config, but more so a user error

Glad you are seeing the light

Sorry to see the end of that tub. I really don't need more soap but I do have to replace the Grapefruit. @Razor Burn.

Agree 100% as the scent is nice and the base performs as good as the 'premium' offerings in my collection.

Simpsons Tulip 3, Manchurian
Razorine + Astra
Simpsons cream, Peppermint and Rosemary

This is easily one of my favourite brushes, the handle is a joy to use and it is a great knot. Good lather from the cream with a lovely refreshing scent and a nice two passes from the Razorine.​

It has to look super sexy or it doesn't get let out of the factory. That's in the Italian constitution somewhere I think

I have used the RR version. It was an interesting change of pace.

so is that like a ‘straight’ DE? Struggling to see how it works

It is a de head. It's called the RazoRock Switch.

I saw GeoFatboy using it when it came out and thought Wow!
Very nice and by all accounts a close shave but too scary for me

It might be just me but compared to the Razorine the RR version looks cheap!?

How does it shave @klinker?

The head is based on the RR Lupo. In the straight mode, it can be as smooth and efficient as the Lupo, once you get the hang of it.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Cream: La Toja Classic
Razor: Wolfman WR2
Blade: Super Iridium BN-84 (4)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Alvarez Gomez Barberia Cologne
Scent: Knize Forest EdT

First use of the La Toja cream, after reading very good reviews from many seasoned wet shavers. I wasn't disappointed - this cream punches well above its weight, considering its modest cost.
Easy to lather and produces voluminous quantities of high quality polar white lather. Performance was excellent - razor glide was top notch, and very decent residual slickness, which is often lacking in creams. I was very impressed.
A generous splash of the delightfully approachable citrus-forward Avarez Gomez cologne, balanced with a couple of sprays of the more austere pine-driven fougère that is Knize Forest, and I am feeling wonderul.
