Happy Mother’s Day gentlemen. This morning’s shave featured the debut of the GC .84 JAWS. I did my usual three pass shave, although I easily could have been satisfied after the second pass. I just enjoy the process. There is something to be said for the quiet time wet shaving affords you in the den.
I am not sure if it was Daniel,
@MrDaniel's, or Gary,
@Hogie, asked for my thoughts once I shaved with the JAWS for a comparison between the R42 and the JAWS. Both are classified as an Aggressive razor on the Italian Barber website. Below is a list of RazoRock razors and their classification:

Both razors, while aggressive, offer up a phenomenal shave provided you respect the process. Each offer a noticeable blade feel. I would give the greater blade to the JAWS. I realize my R41 is not the famed 2011 version but the later model. I wonder how the JAWS would compare to the 2011. Danny,
@Hembree,
@Primotenore or anyone else feel free to chime in if you can offer any opinions.
