It has been a while since I used Heather and forgot how strong the scent is. It is absolutely wonderful though and I enjoyed being enveloped in it during the shave.
I’m very happy to have the Muramasa. It is the only modern adjustable I have. I think the design is really clever. For me, setting one isn’t usable but I can use all the others.

Heather++;
Do you actually use the adjustability, or is it set and forget?

Generally, it is set and forget. I keep it at setting 3 (out of 5). I pretty much do this with all my adjustables. However, in the past when I’ve done 3-pass shaves, I have used more aggressive settings for the first pass. For me, this really isn’t necessary, though.

Same. I used to fiddle around with the settings in the beginning (what have an adjustable and not adjust it, after all?).
Now I just have a favourite setting 🙂
