Is that a Darwin handle from Wolfman?

Edit: I just noticed the similarities in the name... Darwin, Evolution. Sounds like they drew inspiration from it!

Phil (of BullGoose) made the Evolution as a modern recreation of the original pre-war Darwin. I find it to be a lovely little shaver, if a bit on the aggressive side of things.

Oh wow, I didn't know about the Darwin razor. Obviously Wolfman drew inspiration from it, too.

There were/are so many nice razors out there.. no one knows them all.

That's true. Even the Waits Compendium is incomplete.

AA24 - Day 19 - Beloved

Beloved is incredible, and being a strong, lavender-forward scent, it pairs nicely with Varen.

If this wasn't AA, I would have already binned this blade. For the time being, I'm going to keep going with it.
