Pls tell me you like Feather blades, too!
Hey Dave, nice to meet you here!
Feather blades, they have been my favourites for many years. In all razors. However with the arrival of my Windsor I thought I should evaluate my choice of blades anew and the Perma Sharp has replaced the Feather for me. The PS offers a similar sharp edge while holding the sharpness longer and keeping it's feel for days.
The other favourite of mine is the Gillette Silver Blue. It's just ever so slightly less sharp but so lovingly smooth and very solid. I can easily 4-5 days of continuous excellent shaves with the GSB and it's still not done yet.
Oh yeah! SV soaps are a new great love over here. Stunning material! I have written a bit in my previous posting about them.
Now @TexOkie Shaver and I have another Kouros-brother!
Ah, a connoiseur! 🕶
Then you will surely like this: Here's my Windsor SSR1 on a 1991 Parfums Corp splash bottle of Kouros, like the one in the picture you had quoted.
This is from the second Kouros era and the formula is that identical to the original from 1981 that a reformulation is higly doubted at all. The depth, richness and luminance of the ingredients not allowed nowadays is thermonuclear. This is pure and finest hardcore and will instantly TKO anyone used to modern formulas.
In the background you can see my back up bottles of this edition. The Kouros flacon to the right is from the PPR-Gucci Era, the fourth edition of Kouros. It's from 2004 and it's the last Kouros incarnation that satisfies the lovers of the true Kouros, still very strong with the essential character and great power. No comparison to the current Kouros since L'Oréal has taken over YSL and has introduced 'Kouros light' as I call it. I also have these but they only serve as an after shave until they last on days I plan to go real Kouros later on.
Cheers!
