Extraordinary #fougerefriday shave this morning with Nemeta: great scent, great base, great everything!
Rating: 4.5/5
This is the first time I see the underside of the new Blutt, they really completely redesigned the base plate
Fougère Nemeta ++;
Interesting. I didn’t realize there might be so much difference between the original and the new base plate. Do you have a picture of the first one?
I can do you one better:
The right one is first generation, the left one is second gen. I think yours is third, unless I missed one.
Thank you! The baseplates have been tweaked quite a bit between each generation.

Got a CF Legacy in the mail yesterday from the Zaar, so of course I had to christen it with CF Banana. I’m very impressed with the razor. Probably should’ve used a fresh blade, but even still it was fantastic. I can see it turning into one of my favorites. Did a 3 pass shave with some cleanup which resulted in a DFS with no irritation (though I did stupidly nick a mole).
As a bonus, I used SW Boonana frag. Just felt right.
I love the Legacy. I’ve noticed not all blades work well in it, but most are very good. It took me a while to get the hang of that razor, but now it’s one of my top 2 or 3.
That’s what everyone says! What’s your favorite blade for the razor? Need to give a fresh wizamet a try in it, but I’m going to throw a Perma-Sharp in it next.
I used a new Aluminum CFL for AA, but I’m thinking of testing some different blades in it as well. The last SOTD Hardware Report lists these as the most used blades in the CFL for the month:
Chiseled Face Legacy + Gillette Nacet
Chiseled Face Legacy + Personna Lab Blue
Chiseled Face Legacy + WizametI threw a Perma-Sharp in it this morning, and it was great! I’ll try it with a fresh wizamet after this one.
I’ve tried it a few times with a Nacet now, and it has made a substantial difference.
