Dupus
@gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social's two days of Aventus dupes motivated me to copy him. For some reason, I don't have a single Aventus dupe splash, but Iced Tea pairs really well. The Chypre frag genre is my least explored direction, and I really only know it in the form of Aventus dupes. But that's a problem for future djundjila who will have dutifully created some vacancies in the soap and splash storage. Hopefully. Maybe.
Yet another great shave with the WR4, almost too great to be fun, as u/VisceralWatch has noted.
I wasn't too keen on the aluminum used for that prototype but understand completely why it was used. When I tried the prototype I used a stainless Wolfman WRH2 handle to give me an idea of what the razor would feel like in a heavier material. I ordered mine in brass and enjoy its heft.
I kinda like the feel of aluminium razors. I somewhat avoid buying them because of longevity concerns, but enjoy using one when the opportunity lens itself.
