Some quick notes.
Packaging was excellent. Really nice touches. Branding and names are generally a bit unusual but craftsmanship is undeniable.
The brush uses the threaded muhle SFT vegan fiber which is my favorite knot. It is interchangeable. I do not enjoy the rounded bottom as I can’t stand it up between passes. Weight and size is comfortable otherwise. Finish is very grippy.
Razor is very well fabricated. Doesn’t come off as a first-time experiment. All the minor details are incorporated. Clearly plenty of R&D or wetshaving experience. The shave was superb. Way less mild than I was expecting. Extremely audible. extremely safe against the grain. Right in line with my preference of large gap and low blade exposure. I’m not sure what benefit, if any, the unusual topcap has.
Complaints- i don’t like the rounded brush bottom. The stand for the razor isn’t perfectly engineered. The opening only fits at the narrowest part of the neck so it involves slightly scraping the baseplate against the opening every time the razor goes in and out. This is going to blemish the razor over time. Blade tabs protrude out the sides which is no issue for me but it’s not for everyone
Keeper for sure. The muhle knot is soft and perfect for face lathering. The shave resulted in an extremely comfortable bbs. The stand is stylish and lightweight. Hopefully he can get his manufacturing costs down to make it less cost prohibitive
