Lovely little razor, this one. Lovely lather, too. I used the I, Rich Moose aftershave yesterday and the scent, when that strong and long lasting, is not for me. The soap, however, is great. I'll likely give away the aftershave (CONUS). Interested? Let me know.

I killed my IRM aftershave today (Tuesday). If you do decide to let yours go, I'd be happy to give it a new home. :)

Wow, that was fast!

I have your address so I'll try to get it in the mail soonish.
