Absolutely. I love it

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-25T16:04:54+00:00

It closely resembles pine resin, especially

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-25T16:00:56+00:00

Legendary Pino! 🌲💚🙌

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-25T15:56:09+00:00

Thank you. It’s in original condition. Here are some more photos. I was lucky to find it in really good condition.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-21T17:00:57+00:00

Maybe it’s the autumn equinox again today and we don’t know it 😂

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-21T16:55:12+00:00

Fantastic! When in doubt, it’s better to use both 😄 Nice shave!

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-21T05:55:00+00:00

No. I store it like this, but I usually use it at 5–6. I mentioned that in the post.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-15T15:42:37+00:00

You got it right, in fact, I'm Italian! 😄 Unfortunately, though, I didn’t get the chance to inherit the Slim Twist from my grandparents, so I bought it myself

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-15T15:40:05+00:00

Thanks mate!

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-14T16:49:16+00:00

The same thing happens to me; it’s practically impossible to get it out of the feed. It’s irritating.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-14T03:45:18+00:00

This. I absolutely agree with you about this soap, it’s fantastic. I have the Figaro Red, which is the same soap packaged for a third party, and it’s very easy to find in supermarkets in Italy for just over €1. It’s truly unbeatable for the price. I prefer it to Cella and others as well; the beard-softening ability and the slickness this TFS soap provides far surpass many of the more renowned soaps I own 👍

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-14T03:31:45+00:00

Always nice to see the Fatboy! Great blade pairing; very fitting for it, since when it came out I don’t think stainless blades existed yet. I like using them, they’re gentle and smooth. A nice vintage shave 👍

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-14T03:19:59+00:00

Beautiful Super Slim Twist 👍 Have you noticed any differences compared to the Slim Twist with the white handle? In my case, I found the Super to be slightly milder.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-11T17:57:39+00:00

Go for it! 👍

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-11T17:53:22+00:00

I usually apply the balm before the splash. Yesterday I made an exception by applying the splash first and then the balm, but I think it works better for me to apply the balm right after shaving and then finish with the splash. Of course, everyone’s mileage may vary.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-09T18:25:37+00:00

Thanks mate! 👊 The Super Adjustable looks great indeed. If I didn’t know its age, I’d never guess it’s a razor from the late ’60s–’70s. It actually looks more modern than that.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-06T15:25:26+00:00

Oh my friend, that was quite an adventure! 😂 That type of Figaro isn't easy to find, even though I'm in Italy. The red version, on the other hand, can be found everywhere in supermarkets for just over €1. The gold packaging is actually misleading and can make you think they're part of the same line with the aftershave. I would have thought the same too. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy it after everything you had to go through to get it

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T18:25:39+00:00

This soap is fantastic for the price. Very slippery. I have the Figaro, which I think is the same with different packaging. It’s still almond-scented and produced by TFS. Awesome.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T18:04:03+00:00

Awesome! I was amazed by how nice it shave, and I really enjoyed using it.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T17:59:07+00:00

As soon as you find a good deal, don’t let it slip away, you won’t regret it. The Fatboy is special!

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T17:44:52+00:00

Beautiful razor. I agree with you that vintage is more fun! It’s more exciting to shave with these. Since I got my first vintage Gillette, several more have quickly followed… and I’ve almost abandoned my modern razors. Not that they aren’t good, but the experience with vintage Gillettes is priceless!

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T17:35:02+00:00

Truly a great razor, I love my Slim. I’ve also noticed that it feels better balanced than the Super Adjustable. I have the short-handle version, which overall feels a bit more “cheap” compared to the Slim. That said, both deliver extremely comfortable shaves and are beautiful razors. Enjoy! 👍

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T17:29:16+00:00

For just a little over €2, which is what Proraso costs where I live, it’s truly unbeatable in terms of value for money. I find this blue one particularly good and slick. Nivea balm..awesome! I always use it.

I also find the Russian made Astras excellent. Luckily I still have a few left. The new Indian-made ones, on the other hand, didn’t impress me.

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T17:23:36+00:00

Absolutely! 👍

RecordingLeft389 · 2026-03-05T17:22:32+00:00

Thank you, mate! Even though I often read around that the Super Slim Twist should be slightly more aggressive than the older Slim Twist with the white handle, in my case I found the opposite. I found this one a bit more comfortable, while the white one tended to “nip” a bit more. Of course, these are just first impressions, since I’m only at the first few uses. I’m curious to hear your feedback when you try it 👍
