So when there are 2 companies at odds and drama is building All are told to keep the focus on the razor and NOT the companies or the thread will be closed. Then you have more than half a dozen members adhering to that and commenting in the razor only. One individual that feels it shouldn't be that way gets on his high horse and starts running everyone obeying the direction down and makes the discussion with a single post about the company and thru his single post gets rewarded with what he wants. The thread gets closed down. How is it fair to reward the one that ignored the rules and punish all those that obeyed them ? Makes Zero sense......

Just wanted to say that I found your video review very informative. I hope others find their way to it. I also appreciated the comparative remarks with your Gibbs experience. 

While I also am not much of an adjustable person, I had been periodically checking in on the dedicated thread. Hate to see it closed down as well.

Razor: Titanium Diamondback
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: SV 2.0 Cocobolo/Manchurian Badger
Soap: B&M Kalyptos
AS : Witch Hazel + B&M Kalyptos
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 2,095

Kalyptos has eucalyptus, peppermint and spearmint essential oils in it for a bright and fresh cooling scent. I find it interesting the name and a little Googling found the meaning of Eucalyptus as what Will used as in Greek it's meaning is as quoted below:

The name "eucalyptus" is a product of the Greek words 'eu' and 'kalyptos,' and translates to "well covered." Eucalyptus flower buds that have yet to bloom are covered and protected by an abundance of the lush eucalyptus leaves that we adore.

I find the scent and cooling refreshing and while it has a nice strength to enjoy, it's not an in your face overdone strength. The cooling is also at a level to enjoy the cooling without being at a freeze your face level. Want more freeze and you could always add menthol or a synthetic cooling agent of your choosing which are available from many sources. I'm glad I got this and have another Omnibus Base soap with a scent I'll reach for year round but especially in the warmer months. Great job Will Barrister_N_Mann !
