Nice shave. I gave this razor the Chromium Oxide treatment, and although I don't think it had as much of an effect as it did with the Koraat Moarteen, the shave was quite nice.

Nor'easter is an old sample, and the soap has turned hard. It was hard to scoop it out of the sample container and difficult to load it properly. I ended up with an airy, voluminous lather but slickness was good! I love the scent of Nor'easter, but I'm not a fan of menthol. Thankfully, the menthol is pretty light.
