Thank you!

Thank you!
Unfortunately I can not offer much opinion in the way of scent. I woke up this morning with my allergies in overdrive. When I opened it yesterday I was able to detect hints of lemon and rosemary. From what everyone has stated it really blooms fragrance wise once lathered and its elegantly complex. Hope to find out soon lol.
Performance wise it's excellent! Easy to lather, nice slickness and cushion, and a nice post shave feel. Lather was like a nice creamy yogurt but didn't cling or stick to the razor and allowed the blade to slide right across my skin leaving me with no irritation, nicks, or weapers.
Packaging and presentation was spot on as well. Arrived well protected inside another box that was tied with ribbon. The soap and dish was also wrapped with a foam spacer between the lid and dish to prevent any contact damage. Bowl is the same size as their previous offerings, ie: Galleon, Gold Rush, Decadence, etc.
Hope that helps some and hope to be able to respond back with an actual scent description soon.
Cheers,
Freddie

Pre: - Cold Water straight from the tap

Lather: - Palmolive Classic Shave Stick (european version grated into a plastic tub)
Razor: - Gillette Ball End Tech 1946-50
Blade: - Rapira Platinum Lux #1
Post: - Thayers Witch Hazel 'Unscented' / Bulldog Original Aftershave Balm

I can only get two shaves no more with the Feather blade using the Gillette Ball End Tech which is a real shame, so I've bought a pack of 5 blades of Rapira Platinum Lux to try out with my Gillette Ball End Tech and see how far this blade can reach.
Hi SpeedyPC I found that I could only get 2-3 decent shaves out of a feather blade in the Feather AS-D2 which isn't enough given the price of the blades but then I discovered that if I took the Feather out of the AS-D2 after 3 shaves and put it into the ikon 102, I could get 3 more good shaves out of the blade. I haven't tried any other razor other than the 102 to see if it works with other razors but its worth a shot.
