VERY kind offer John but I will pass and maybe check on it when they have the final product. Just too much going on with life right now. Again I DO appreciate the generous offer and hope you are well !

Razor: Pearl Flexi at 3.5
Blade: Wizamet (3)
Brush: Rubberset 400 Cashmere
Soap: Hub City RCITW
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance: Amouage Sunshine Man
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 991
Built like a Tank the Flexi gave a superb shave. It's machined brass with a triple layer matte finish that is attractive and easy to clean. It has the heft of the brass too but while a heavy razor it was easy to use and maneuver. Nice razor but the Gibbs would have it beat for me. Again no rash decisions but it'll be on a short list if I reduce razors down the road. I do want to try some different blades in it too. used a blade from the Winner razor that puts a good bend in the blade and I want to see if a fresh one would perform differently. Amouage Sunshine Man to top everything off before services today......Need I say more. Amouage is always a "Go Big or Go Home" scent strength juice producer and this is no exception. Have a great day Guys !

Did you have to stand in line for 6 hours to get Amouge along with your cabbages and onions?
Now I’ll have to look up Amouge on BaseNotes!
Been around for 6 years and is an AMAZING scent. Odds he and I would use and post that close together is remote but it's a well known Frag. May need to send you a sample. That's what Eric Smattayu did to enable me into the purchase. It ain't cheap but it takes MUCH less for the same results from other high end frags. Just My Opinion.

It might be a great scent. I read the reviews on base notes.
Given that I have a gazzillion EdT, cologne and AS…they will all last longer than me.
Here’s the Amouage selection (for guys like me), from the Thirsty Badger website:
Deus Ex Machina
