I honed this Kobar razor and this was a test shave of it. It is owned by u/snoo-ting. Great little razor. I had an exceptionally close 2-pass shave with it.
This was my first use of the Adopted Acres Grand Champion 2.0 base. I'm not sure what I think of this one. Doug has talked about using polymers in it and I'd like to know what the expected feel and behavior is supposed to be. I hope to chat with him about this concoction before I use it again.
Razor: Rheingold Licht Werk Magnetic Blue Steel - Solingen - 6/8 Half Hollow (6)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Pencil Pushers - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Lyssa - Aftershave
I'm fairly certain that Pencil Pushers was put out in the Vegan Omnibus base. I wonder if that base is still around after manufacturing was transferred to Stirling.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

I’m glad to hear it was able to take an edge!

I was really impressed by this soap, which I found for relatively cheap on Etsy. Great slickness and a nice sandalwood scent.
I used the sandalwood as a simple base for the bright El Cantinero with a shot of orange blossom on top. Lovely!
I used the open comb side of this passaround razor today and it felt a bit rougher. I'd probably prefer the straight bar if I were to buy one.
