Had a busy day today so I wasn't able to post a report on my shave this morning. The short version is I got an excellent shave from this razor! I lathered up some RR lime, a soap I use often and it performs great for me. I went ahead a loaded one of the Astra blades that came with it and went ahead with my normal 2 pass shave WTG and ATG. The heft and balance was very comfortable and after the first pass I was almost DFS. Went around again and afterwards I had that smooth polished feeling that I like. I wouldn't exactly call the razor mild but it is forgiving and very efficient. The shaving angle is easy to find and it was fairly quiet when shaving. I really like the weight and length of the handle. So yeah a great razor for a little money. Again it doesn't look or feel cheap and performs as well as any razor I own. Around $24 after you get the discount code from the website. That's my humble opinion your experience may be different (ymmv)!
Agree about the 'one pass and almost DFS'. This morning was a bit rushed and that's what I walked out the door with. I'm surprised about how much I like the thing. I'm toying with the idea of doing a 'mini-shave-off' between; - Evahs, - DeFitch, and - EJ89 as I happen to have all three and they all share some common traits. We'll see
Please do. I'm especially curious about the comparison to the DeFitch as I wonder how many of these new razors are really just a rebranded mix and match of components from a small number of (Pakastani?) OEMs.
Getting ready to try out my new evahs razor ... my first impression when i opened the box was "WOW" as this is a great looking razor with a nice long heavy handle, great chrome plating and a very nice feel in the hand. I will update after a few shaves with it
@Robyflexx you are going to love this razor i used mine the other morning and was awarded with a very smooth near bbs shave .. it seemed effortless and no irritation. The razor is well made and the plating is flawless .. let me know what you think when it arrives
Will do! Thanks for the feedback, @ram57 posted on his SOTD today and provided me with info on it. Looking forward to it!
I noticed that they are running a competition right now on Instagram to win a couple of their razors. Two winners between now and Feb 18. If you're interested in getting one that might be worth checking out.
"Post an image of your favorite part of your morning ritual. This could be anything from hand grinding your favorite coffee, to your favorite park that you walk through on your way to work every morning." I was wondering where that was going for a second and it was quite a relief when he explained it's coffee that he's hand grinding as part of his morning ritual.
