Several people over at the old place claimed that LGC smells like Coca Cola. I get where this comes from, but I don't believe it's true (and I 'm relieved that it didn't impact my enjoyment of the soap).

Many people dislike shavettes, but I find them actually very nice.

Have a good Sunday!

I have the Feather SS in the foldable style, but whenever I use it I hold it straight like the kamisori. Have you tried both? Should I just switch?

I don't have the folding Feather SS, but I do have a Kai folding shavette, and a Tedalus Essence, which is folding as well.

So should you switch? I really don't know. I slightly prefer the folding style, for no other reason than that it allows to store the blade safely in the razor. I see better what I 'm doing with the kamisori, but otherwise, I don't have a clear preference wrt shaving.

Fair point, though you can get a plastic cover for the Feather SS kamisori. It's not very sexy looking with the cover on admittedly.

And I haven't seen them in Europe...
