Today's Shave: Monday October 24, 2016
Asylum Rx
Kai Captain Titan Mild blade (6)
The Grooming Co. synthetic brush
Chiseled Face Groomatorium Sherlock soap & aftershave
Wow. I've used the same razor for a solid week. I never do that.
However, this is one smooth shaving razor, and it has held my interest. Today's shave was what has come to be typical - super close, dolphin smooth, perhaps a hint of irritation or a weeper if I lose my focus.
I usually use the Kai Titan Mild blade to get familiar with a new razor before moving on to the Feather Professional, but the Titan works really well in the Rx and is plenty aggressive.
I haven't seen much discussion regarding the handle on the Rx. It is much more than the usual knurled or lined cylinder - it is obvious that a lot of thought went into its design. The Rx uses a standard thread allowing for the use of aftermarket handles. Very few of my razors sport their original handles, but so far I haven't found one that looks or feels better than the original on this razor.
