    Good morning all.
    Just finished my shave without the "safety bar" on this RR V1 razor.
    Are you kidding, what a great shave!
    I'm now firmly in the group that believes that the safety bar does nothing.
    A small group it might be, but I am all in.
    OMG! I'm sounding like fuzzy @wchnu!
    Right there is man that knows his shaving!
    Well..... I have been learned about shaving the last couple weeks.

    A nice, close, smooth, two pass shave, head and face.
    The only issue was a bump that appeared on the back of the head.
    I went over it kindly as I could.
    But I still had a small weeper there.
    You head shavers know where I'm talking about.
    That place where the spine connects to the gord.
    Anyway.....
    I'm really clean and smooth, just as I like.
    Now I have 3 blade holders with an X plate I can count on for a wonderful shave.
    Oh yea, I just made up the X plate.
    It's a plate with no so called safety bar.
    A little paint, and this blade holder is ready for years of service.

    All
    Enjoy!

    Nice, Terry!
    I'm with you, shallow angle and should get the same shave with or without the safety bar.

    The machining on that razor looks to be very high-quality, James. BTW, it's only through your magnificent photography that I am able to make that comment. :happy088:

    Real nice shave this morning, closing out the current set of Razorock Soap(Tuscan Oud)and AgadirMen aftershave. 0:30 for the loading of the soap onto the Stoylin brush(the "no-name"). In the end(of the loading)the Stoylin looked like an ice-cream cone, so I knew I could make some good lather for my face and neck, which I did. 2 Knicks on the first pass, but they at first appeared harmless, thus I was betting on being able to "wash" them off, or at least for the most part, with the rest of the shave. I'm glad I've conditioned myself to go slow and easy along those edges of North Porcupine Alley. Same with the rest of the Alley, but those edges need the most work. Solid 2nd pass. Agadir, as mentioned, for the finish. My face and neck are nice and woody, of the Oud persuasion. They are also clean, fresh, and smooth. Most Excellent.

    Fantastic shave and report. Hopefully, we will still manage some semblance of Halloween High Jinx.
