Weird. I bought my tub about two years ago (I have to look it up). It still has a mid strength scent intensity (perhaps a 4/10). It's never been a strong scented soap.Calling Aventus, here Aventus. Nope, no Aventus here. I thought my tub was pretty much scentless and it's a brand new tub although I've had it for some time. My GF described the scent from my bathroom as a very pleasant smelling soap smell.

That has been my experience with the Shark Chrome as well. I think it might have to do with the fact that Sharks are a tad thicker than other blades. Or is that my mind playing tricks on me?This was the first time I've ever used this blade in this razor. The reason I'm mentioning this is that this combination produced a very loud, what I can only described as a pulling apart velcro sound. Lol.
I mean I really enjoy the sound that a Schick Krona makes which I always believed was due to the lightweight aluminum head. But today's shave was audibly on another level.
Beautiful setup
Thank you! Yes indeed, a WR1.Beautiful setup
Which razor did you use? Wolfman?
