It’s rather a quirky looking Razor , but I decided to give it a go.I have small hands and actually find the handle easy to use, very manuvreable too. On plate 3 it delivers very comfortable Shaves,with a very close finish up there with those I get with other AC/SEs.
Did not work for me at all. Handling I got used to but shave was awful regardless of blade. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
so it uses an AC blade ? i have only tried the hawk that is a safety razor style that uses the AC blades...
Schick Type L2, Personna blade, shave 7 Double check shave on this razor to see if the Personna blade on 10 shaves I used prior was done. Answer was yes since this shave with a less worn blade was better, still not a BBS finish but it is closer. Either way and I am not surprised the Type L8 aka the Golden Schick is a better shaver than this one. At some point I need to get an L1 and see how it stacks up.

Tue 5th Nov. Stirling Syn.30mm Arko stick- grated Alu. General / Windrose handle Feather Proguard [ 12 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion I think for me the Feather Proguard blade has reached its Optimum, though the finished Shave was more than passable the blade has started to pull a bit. What pleased me about the Shave was the way the Alu.Hawk moved, with the Windrose handle that I have recently fitted to it.Also I must make more use of this rarely used Stirling Brush which worked a treat with the Arko.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Tabac Shave Soap Jayaruh #292 Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher CVS CS SE CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Didn't get around to posting yesterday. Just a 1 pass with very light cleanup was needed with the Gem squat head.
