Christmas Season Day 11.

Blackland Blackbird Brass vs Steel showdown with Modern Williams

Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
Soap: Modern Williams
Razor: Blackland Blackbird Brass (OC and SB)/Blackland Blackbird Steel (OC and SB)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)/Personna Lab Blue (1)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (11)
Brush: Zenith Boar
AS: Aqua Velva (Eur)
ASB: Aqua Velva (Eur)

The lather was creamy and slick, as it should be. Just wonderful.

Now for the comparison pass by pass;
Pass I
Right side: Brass OC
Smooth and efficient
Left side: Steel OC
Smooth and efficient
Thought there was a point the razor wasn't gliding quite right
Reevaluated and it was OHS (Operator Head Space)
The Brass felt heavier, but that was about it.

Pass II
Right Side: Steel SB
Smooth and efficient
Left Side: Brass SB
Smooth and efficient
No difference

Pass III
Right side: Brass SB
Smooth and efficient
Left side: Steel SB
Smooth and efficient
No difference

Conclusion: The brass is heavier.
