Yes, the review was very helpful to me too.  I like Eric's MaineYooper's "No bashing, just honest opining!"

Monday February 28, 2022
Razor: Krect Spiral Curve Slant/Dart Handle
Blade: Tatra Platinum (4)
Brush: Sorrentino Orange Crush/Cashmere
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood
AS 1: Thayers Original
AS 2: Nivea Deep
Fragrance: Perfumers Choice Mojo #10
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1209

Got the later model Krect head and paired it with the Dart Handle. It takes some handles and not others including the one I had hoped would fit it from a spare Hospital razor which has the same handle I thought.........It's a nice close shave but definitely feels milder than the Original. Still a great shave and glad to have another model. The Original is still my favorite. The soap is another from the House of Rob ExtraProtein The scent was nice but very light to my nose. I would loose it during the shave unless I was focused on smelling it. The soap base I was able to coax a decent lather from but on the lighter side and by 3rd pass was trying to dissipate on my last area of the face around the mouth. Still a pleasant shave with I assume a vintage soap not made anymore but unsure ?? The #10 is an amazing scent to me a woodsy oriental with strong staying power. It's cheap too and was enabled by b1hart and primotenore to get it. VERY glad I did and recommend it if it's in your wheelhouse. Catches me off guard every time I use it as it is NOT a pump applicator but continual spray under pressure which can cause an over application. Not a bad thing to me but "Your welcome world" I'm "That Guy" today. Have a stupid fun day folks !

Yes, a fun read, and with interesting ins-and-out about the Krect too.  Speaking of enablement, your price comment made me sit up straight Dave in KY, and I grabbed a gift pack of 1.7 oz bottles (No 9 and No 10) from Amazon.  --  Thank you.

Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1210

Been curious about this stuff for awhile and found myself in store that had this and decided it was time to give it a try. If I knew it was designed to smear on a face without a brush (I used one anyway) and go invisible I would have skipped it. It felt like it robbed me of my joy of the shave. Some may love it but it was a waste for me. Even if in a hurry I do not need to resort to a product like this. Not even worth mailing to give someone as the cost to mail is as much as the tube costs..............sorry but just such a disappointment to me. Maybe the stick is what I should have tried...........Life is still good though as Tim would say as the Injector saved the shave. Have a great day !
