Sounds like the 34C/G close to a DFS+

I am thinking it's quite a bit more efficient than 34C without being aggressive but its been a while since I used 34C. I still have my first because it's the razor that started my wet shaving journey before RAD.
Will load it up with a Wizamet to compare

Soap: Pb Max
Brush: Platypus
Razor: Lambda Ares
Blade: Nacet (1)
Brilliant combo this morning with the Nacet working exceptionally well in the Ares for an easy BBS. This razor has grown on me much the same as my Rocnel Elite. The engineering is very satisfying when assembling.

Blackland Dart / Gillette Nacet
Yaqi Heavy Metal Short Handle 24mm Silvertip
SV Desert Vetiver Shaving Soap & Aftershave​

 

[Mark1966]

At my FiL’s this weekend and used the St James of London.

Funny having a cream to hand lather rather than a stick to face lather. Nice change through and good result. Having the matching aftershave gel was a bonus. The gel was very smooth and comforting way to finish up.

Nice all things considered

It doesn't get any better than this.

BTW, I've noticed that since our last discussion of C&S/Valobra, some antisocial individual has descended on Mensbiz like a plague of locusts and raided every last puck of this soap.

It was bound to happen

I am positive that Valobra itself will make a comeback.

It's the kind of thing that you're gifted but never pay for yourself i.e pretty pricey:

Exactly. This was given to me by a lady friend (who obviously really likes me ) along with a couple of spare pucks. I would never have bought it for myself, but it is nice.
