Chypre D'Ananas and Chaipre seem to be somewhat unconventional chypre scents, at least when compared to others I've used like B+M LGC or Death. Each have an extra bright, fruity top, the common chypre notes, and a woody base. Finally, Fougere Nemeta hit all the right notes even if it strayed from the chypre theme.
The STAR razor looks like a cross between a Gillette Old Type and a Tech. It's mild like a Tech, but a bit more efficient. After the first two passes, there wasn't much left for the ATG pass. However, it's still a mild razor and wasn't the closest shave. I probably could have done without the third pass.
WetTuber Challenge: I enjoy watching Jon from Latherhog. His recommendations are usually inline with my own preferences, and his videos are always easy-going, quality work.
