Excellent razor. On the base plate design you can see either Gibbs made or heavily influenced by Gibbs. I lean toward it actually being Gibbs. Enjoy!
Very cool! How much pressure does it take for the head to move? Will it move during the shave? I likey!
Actually it requires quite a bit of pressure - just shaving with it will certainly not make it move out of place at all. Seems like a really solid build - we'll see how practical it actually is though
I would agree 100% with that. If I'd put any money down I'd bet on the head being made by Gibbs. (And...interesting enough...I got a Gibbs razor on its way to me as well... )
Old, Out of date with modern accessories, hard to handle, and of questionable working condition? I have a retirement home nearby that you will love for the companionship then.
Today was the first day of my week where I will only use the Peroni 'Tilt' razor. Loading the blade showed a healthy bit of blade exposure as you can see below: Lathered up with some amazing Soap Commander soap (one of my recent favorite soaps) and went to work. I started out with the razor in a neutral 'tilt' - just straight and even - and proceeded with my WTG pass. Sliding it down I immediately realized that this razor is no joke - this is a highly efficient razor. I continued my pass and also continued to be in awe - I was practically DONE after one pass. That's how crazy efficient this razor was to me. Compared to ALL the razors I've given a week-long test so far - this razor is a 9.9 on the efficiency scale but it somehow does it without being overly aggressive. I played around with angling the razor head - pitching and yawing..and even though I rather liked it when I did a mini-XTG pass I did end up using it pretty much like a standard razor after the novelty had worn off. I do think there can be people out there that would really appreciate to be able to set the angle in pretty much any way the want. It surely didn't take away from the razor and I will get back to experiment with it more during this week. I re-lathered and finished off my shave with an ATG pass and I was done. Smooth as an infant's behind. So, today was a great experience and I really can't wait to continue trying it out this week (and yes, I'm sure I'll be angling away as well just for the fun of it).
