It’s been a very mild winter so far for most of Canada, thankfully. The summer vibes will be crucial when we are hitting -40c.

The Tatara blades are working well for me but I have only tried them in the Overlander which is a wonderfully forgiving razor. The Overlander even makes those feather blades useable.

Weird razor, inefficient soap like vegan stuff and an ok scent aquatic and spicy. It turned out ok not really that close of a shave but no real problems.

Excellent shave today. Fairly tired but everything performed great. This razor always works very well for me it seems to be forgiving enough for a groggy early shave.

Ok shave. I wasn’t paying attention and got a bit raw on my neck in the spot that hair grows in the strangest direction. This razor is nice and works well but the Overlander is still my favourite.

This scent is amazing and the menthol is perfect. The lime is so powerful and fresh it’s definitely one of the best.
