I might be repeating myself here, but I got to sniff This is Not a Test at the recent northeast meetup -- it's a great scent and I might grab a tub when it's back in stock.

We never did find out the results of @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social's double blind testing. I hope he enlightens us after he returns from his break!

Tub Kill! u/visceralwatch
This is my 28th career tub kill, and this brings my tub count down to 28. Yin, yang, etc.
From April 5th to September 25th this razor has been on the road doing a pass-around. I'm glad it made it back to me because I like this razor a ton, and Italian Barber doesn't ship to the USA anymore (for now?). 6 months and 13 participants later and it still looks like new.
This shave was excellent. 10/10.
I always thought the photos of this place were edited to be more vibrant, but in person it's stunning. Photos do it justice, and I recommend stopping there if you're nearby.
I blindly bought a 322 tub recently. It's different than I imagined, but I still enjoy it. It's funky and I like that.

No tub kill today, but tomorrow for sure. Mood Indigo is a superb scent, and got even better once it was discontinued!

Excellent shave. I have at least 1 more shave left in this tub, and we'll find out tomorrow if there's maybe 2 left...
September 28th, 2025: So nice
An excellent shave. Had I changed one thing about this shave, it would be the brush. I'm very close to calling it for this brush, and will most likely be giving it away. I like brushes that can splay, and this brush is a painter. It feels great and is a very nice brush, but no sense in keeping it if I don't like it all that much!
