@cajunrph, does Palmolive shaving cream work as well as the discontinued shaving stick?

I’ve never used the stick. That being said, the cream is fantastic and lathers with abandon. Right up there with the best creams. I was thinking I could easily use Palmolive daily if I had to. No issue what so ever. Take care and have a blessed Monday.

Hannes you make it sound like the later versions of the Green Cult are fakes.
BTW, wasn't the very first version a ZAMAK razor released by Fairschenkt prior to the first SS?

Still in , no shave

For me it’s the one and only. I always mix up 1.0, 1.1, the Zamak…

I could also say „the exceptionally well priced one“

Can't argue with that. Paid 39.90 EUR for mine.

Would he be wrong?

Although I really like the GC2 as well, but compared to the GC1 SS nothing is equal. Even the GC2.IV has milder blade exposure.

Day 19, and I am out. A JNat came up for sale locally and, without the extortionate international postage fees that I am sadly accustomed to paying, the temptation was too much. No regrets as it looks like a lovely stone and was very reasonably priced. C'est la vie.

Great shave today, though. I hope you all enjoy yours! I'll stick around but now the dam has broken, I'll likely stumble again before pulling myself together for April!

I like the 1.0 very much. But 2.0 beats it in my book. I have the 2.0 IV CC, IV OC and III OC.

Thank you! I bought her for the steel, but the bling did encourage me to dig a little deeper into my wallet that I otherwise might of...
