  Not necessarily a floral scent, but there’s neroli in there, so I’m counting it as on theme.

    How many Moarteen shaves have you had so far? Have you used it every day since it was delivered?

      This should be about shave 29. I’ve used it just a little over once per day since it landed

  2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  Every time I use the MK-10 I think it is an underappreciated model. The MK-31 and MK-32 seem to get the attention in the Heljestrand line, and they are excellent razors. The MK-10 handled very well, had terrific balance, and shaved effortlessly. And SSL completed the perfect setup for me today.

  Super nice. Of course I’m nearing 100 on this blade, but if it starts to stink before then I’m not going to push it. It still feels super smooth and sharp, though.
