I couldn't resist. What, you might ask? I couldn't resist using Adagio or my new Kopparkant Plus again. Both are in the category of top-shelf shaving gear and well... I really like them both, so...

Adagio is unique and full of character. It stands out from the crowd but in all the best ways. I really love its uniqueness and is sort of special to me if I do say. I suggest you pick it up before it's gone. This gem was hidden for quite some time before its current appearance. So no idea how long it will take to see it again once it's gone.

The Kopparkant shaves very well and easily provides me a bbs shaves. I did three passes without any nicks or irritation. This was a solid shave for sure.

In my opinion, the most amazing thing about Adagio is the aftershave. The fragrance is amplified giving you an even better view of the beautiful dance taking place between the cherry, lime, and the cooling effect. I really, really like this stuff!

There you have it. Another outstanding shave. Thanks for reading and enjoy your shaves.

 I like the colors of that bowl and suppose the brush is the same, sharp.

New razor first shave this morning with the Yates titanium scalloped EH 88mm handle machined finish.
I usually go for a polished version if available but really wanted to see what the machine finished world is like.
The shave went very good close and very comfortable too. I really like a razor that you can go in directions and spots where other razors really aren't conducive to, if that makes sense. I mean some razors you just learn not to do certain things with, directions in certain areas and the like.
Very pleased with my choice and the titanium weight, EH scalloped and handle links all worked out like I was hoping it would.
Edit: I've also got the H scalloped plate.
