Still chilly today; supposed to be up to 70 tomorrow, figured I could get away with this today, not really a warmer weather scent for me. Ring of death on this soap, it's swirling the drain, have to get some more after summer is over.

Envy bulb super soft and thinner, digging less dense knots a lot lately. This aluminum handle is sick in that it stays warm during the shave.

Another great shave (Lo Storto #3). I still have a way to go 'cuz :bayrum2: . One thing I didn't mention before was that I love the handle with the twisted fluting, far superior to the standard Grande vertical fluting IMO.

"Fat Friday" and first time trying a Feather blade...damn good shave right there!

Being new, I am still over all over the place and have more soaps and creams than weeks wet-shaving; however, MWF, like my beloved Cella, has already earned one of the coveted spots on the bathroom counter. :)

Thanks very much, my friend. I can't remember: do they sell the head separately? Because if so, you could always get the head and be on the lookout for the handle. Are they just temporarily out, or do they actually not make it anymore? Because that would really be a shame, it's a great handle.
You're welcome! IB no longer has that BarberPole handle. Not sure if it's temporary. There was a GC0.84-P with BarberPole handle came up for sale in BST but I am far away in Malaysia and the shipping cost is really too much although I have bought 4 razors from the US with reasonable shipping cost. It all depends on the seller I guess..
