Gentlemen,

Another incredible week of SOTDs has passed. We did black and white a few weeks back. Let's see your color splash photos this week. I'll kick it off with an homage to my subtle vetiver addiction:

Notes: It's the first Frameback I ever bought and initially I wasn't quite sure about this as handling was not what I was used to, with the razor being just a thin blade with a couple of strips of metal attached along the spine. It felt quite flimsy and the handle felt heavier than the blade itself.

However, it didn't take me very long to get used to it and the geometry and steel means it can be made very keen and the result was a good smooth and close shave. I shall have to check the edge later to see how it held up.

Vetyver along with Patchouli is probably another scent that perhaps isn't quite my style. Performance was good though, so I'll be trying another sample next.

First shave with this Soltech Feather cartridges! A bit creepy seeing how much blade blade it exposed:





But the shave was well anyway, very curious sensation similar to three or more blades cartridges!


Cheers!
