Thanks.....I guess I'd blame my cuts&Knicks on the razors-or my use of them. But they're the most comfortable for me.
if they work for you that's all that counts...nobody wants an uncomfortable shave.thank you for sharing here Paul.
SOTD, Sept 11th 2021 Razor: Gillette super speed X1- Mfg 1952, nice smooth milder razor but with a wider Kai SS Blade it brings it up a notch to my liking. Blade: Kai SS (2) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with excellent longevity. Extra wide by 9/1000 of inch, great for milder razors. Soap: Razorock The Dead Sea, nice unique scent with excellent lather qualities+ one of my favorite soaps. Brush: Yaqi 24mm "Viper" boar(1st use) excellent lather generator, great split end smooth tips, great scrubber + great lather painter. this color of handle and feel. Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. Post shave: Razorock The Dead Sea aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe balm. Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gillette 1952 SS + Kai SS blade. Have some great shaves!
Took my new to me 1934 Aristocrat for its first spin in about 75 years, and loved it. The blade bank it came with had 3 NOS E4 blades, an R3, and a Schick from idk when in it. I wonder if it was used new, put away, and later tried by an heir or what...we'll never know. What I do know is I put a new Feather blade in it and whipped it around like a tech without a single nick or irritation afterwards. The audible feedback is there, a very rewarding sound when shaving. Compared to my 1938 2nd gen French No.15 Aristocrat that chewed me up I'd say the 1938 is a MUCH milder razor, but of course YMMV! Sent from my SM-G977U using Tapatalk
