This was my first shave with this razor and it was a good one. The adjustment dial is numbered 1 to 6 but it goes beyond that to essentially 9. I kept it on 3 for the first and second passes, finishing on 2. The Tatra blade continues to impress me and I could definitely feel it in this razor. It is efficient with lots of blade feel.

This is also my first use of a House of Mammoth soap which was unsurprisingly fantastic based on all the reviews I've seen. Tobacconist is an exceptional tobacco fragrance blended with wood, fruit, spice...the list goes on. It's one of the more complex scents I've tried and I understand why people love it.

The combination of these two gave me a very smooth and close BBS result. Definitely one of my best first shaves with any razor. It left me wanting to shave more and looking forward to my next shave. 10/10.

Excellent soap! A lovely scent and a rich, creamy and slick lather!
An excellent & enjoyable shave with this razor on pasted balsa edge. Very smoothly & comfortably mowed down 3 days worth of growth in 3+passes without any irritation & issues for a mixed bbs/dfs/ccs result. Aftershaves were great too.
