Thanks @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social for including me in this month's BVWSC meeting despite my recent absenteeism!

Darkwing is a joy to use and this time was no different. I had a smooth shave with my current go-to setup, but this scent isn't for me. The dry woody centre makes me think of the sun dried twigs on the floor of a pine forest in summer, which is mostly fragrant resinous notes, but with a touch of dry rot that I can't unsmell. Glad I tried it, though!

Extra hollow kamisori? Western style or a nihon kamisori but hollow?

This one's a western style folding kamisori

I'd be curious to see pics of that if it'd be convenient--seen folding kamis but none I'd describe as especially hollow...

I have a few pictures here. It's a beauty if you ask me :)

It is indeed! And aha, symmetrical. Thanks, that was both satisfying and inspiring. Was already eyeing Roman's blades and now you've made it dangerously easy to say "I'll have one like this but 7/8 and smiling a bit"...
