Thanks, Clint!

 

Good morning all!
This morning I got out a Ming Shi adjustable razor, loaded a new Feather blade.
I had some bad feelings towad this razor, but being a Chinese knockoff of a Chinese knockoff, it was cheap.
Can't remember when I last used it.
But being cheap, it was just that, cheap.
Now it's put together fine, the handle is light making it hard to ballance.
I did the entire head shave grasping onto the adjustment knob.
The face shave was wanting, I thought maybe I had it on 9, ok try 1.
At 1 it didn't shave at all, not sure the blade even touched the skin.
Back to 9 and on with it.

Quite possibly the worst razor I own.
If you ride the cap, it doesn't shave.
You have to set the razor at an angle so the blade touches the skin.
I think that angle is at about 90 degrees, scraping the hair off rather than cutting.
Not very close, although I did many passes on a few areas to no avail.
No issues today, not much of a shave either.
This may be the only razor I've considered tossing in the trash.
The saving grace is everything else worked as expected.
I did do a whole shave, but it won't be long before I look like I skipped shaving today.

All
Stay safe
ENJOY!

Interesting scent combination in this soap, Jim.

 

Grand effort with a questionable razor, Terry. Have a great day.

 

Good job getting through this shave, Terry. While I have never trashed a razor, this seems like a candidate.

 

Great shave, Charlie. I think I will break out the scuttle this morning.

 

Thank you, Gary!

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

Wonderful shave, Charlie!

 

Thank you, Tim! It is definitely a popular scent in my household. Anytime I get unsolicited "You smell good," that is a good thing.

 

Great shave, Jim! How are you liking the scent of St. Barts? I was thinking of picking it up to compare to my tub of Island Man.

 

Fantastic picture, Jim!

 

Great effort with a substandard razor Terry. I think I would toss it in the trash.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Great picture, Terry!

Happy Monday. Everything played well together but I was not on top of my game. My mind was on work and such. Three passes and minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. My lower right neck proved to be my nemesis once again. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

 

It is a well done scent; I am surprised they had discontinued it. I am glad it is back.

 

Wonderful picture, Clint!
