Like the idea of a trimmed Feather Pro in the E1, Ruben. I imagine it shaved quite well.

Beautiful presentation, Guy. How did you like GD's Mallard?

Thanks Ron. Performance wise, I find Mallard the best one yet from GD. Maybe I was lucky with the water/soap ratio in the first try around but for me this was slickest and easiest to lather out of the 10 I have from GD. A thirsty soap but super slick from start to finish. Two pass shave with zero touchup. Scent wise I picked up Chocolate, Coffee, hint of sandalwood, and a little spiciness.
