Koké and Cerberus are a great pairing as always and the big 17 is one of my favourite razors.

I would not have thought this until I tried it, but Cerberus pairs well with a large variety of scents. I don’t own one myself, but I have tried VW’s 17. I think I like it better than the Friodur 14. It has everything the 14 has with a slight bit more delicacy of feel. (Obviously IMO)

In the 14 vs 17 question, I think I still lean 14. It has more of that feather feeling, but the heft of the 17 is definitely wonderful.
