What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

Got the Filarmonic 13 double temple in the mail today. Definitely better than I expected due to low picture quality and description on ebay. Stamp on blade is quite clear unlike picture that made it look faded. Finally got a razor listed as shave ready that actually is shave ready. Shave the hair off my forearm like it didn't even exist without touching the skin. Is that a hanging hair test enough. Did a test shave with it today using my Martin De Candre Fougere and Sterling Zenith 30 mm boar brush. 3 day growth mowed down in 2 passes. Easy DSS-BBS shave. No stopping required. Straight out off the box. Picture doesn't do razor justice. Scales are white with a mother-of-pearl iridescent look. Razor is slowest NOS in my opinion. Think I'll message seller and ask if he knows what stones he honed it on. Definitely gonna give him a great review.

What's the scent notes on this. Love the label!
frrom the website..
Forest Dragon opens with a crisp, invigorating burst of Bergamot and rare Sudachi Citrus, bright and awakening as the first light through the canopy. At its heart, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Lavender create a cool, herbaceous clarity that is fresh and deeply restorative.

As the scent settles, rich Cedarwood and Oakmoss form a grounding base, accented by the subtle warmth of Cardamom. Hints of Rose Absolute and Jasmine drift softly through the composition, while Fir Balsam, Wild Siberian Fir, and Balsam of Peru bring a resinous, green richness. A touch of Green Mint and Dragon's Blood adds an intriguing, slightly mystical finish.
