Crawling out of my rabbit warren, first Bunny report: Bunny razor, warm shower prep, Chick blade, Arko puck in my Old Spice mug, Vie Long horse brush. Even though I had many, many days of growth I started with the "Mild" comb. It was very efficient, like erasing my whiskers, perhaps too mild as I made more passes than usual and left myself with a bit of burn. As for the razor: performed great, though I found it a bit hard to see exactly where the blade was against my goatee. The handle is awesome, I was 90% though before I remembered that I was supposed to be evaluating it, I call that success. I'm feeling a bit better now, thanks to all who inquired.
Second Bunny report: warm shower prep, Bunny razor with Notso comb, Chick blade (2), Arko (as always), Whipped Dog synthetic, Pinaud Lilac Vegatal after shave. My second shave went even better than my first thanks to advice from Bunny creator @twhite to use as little pressure as possible. I also liked the Notso comb better than the Mild because I could feel were the blade was better. I don't think I will need to use the Wild comb. I did a 3 pass shave WTG, XTG, ATG and wound up with a DFS. I'm sure with more familiarity I could get a BBS shave, but I didn't want to push it to razor burn territory. All in all I'm very happy with the Bunny!
Bunny Razor shave report: warm shower prep, Bunny razor with Notso comb, Arko puck, Semogue 1305 boar brush, Pinaud Clubman aftershave. I tried to change the blade (in a hurry) to one of my NOS twin Schick's but the Bunny wasn't havin it. I didn't want to force it and wound up with a brand new Chick. Then I slowed things down. I'm really getting the angle down now, one small area on my neck where I apparently forgot raised a weeper or two. This is a very efficient razor, one well worth learning the proper angles and pressure for as the results are simply awesome!
Bunny Razor final report: warm shower, Notso comb, Chic blade (2), Arko puck, Vie Long horse brush, Pinaud Bay Rum after shave. I didn't shave this weekend so I had some heavy stubble to knock down. It's funny but in my last shave I really seemed to be getting the angle right, leading to an excellent shave. Some final thoughts: the angle is counter-intuitive to just about any other razor I've tried, but very much worth learning. The blade holder is probably a weak point that would have to be strengthened for a production razor. Other than that I've really enjoyed my time with the Bunny! I'd like to thank @twhite for his remarkable creation, and @Karl G and everyone who made this passaround possible. The Bunny is now safely off to @ilts, I hope he enjoys it!
I have made 2 more with improved spring tension. It seems to work fine. There most likely will be more changes down the road. Tom
Oh baby, that means only 2 more people before me! Woo hoo! I've already ordered both Schick and Ted Pella blades to get ready.
Someday our great grandchildren will look at their Bunny v.8643 and talk about the brave souls who shaved with v.2's and v.3's. They'll probably will have to see one in the Smithsonian.
I just checked the tracking that Wascally Wabbit should be here today just in time for Wednesday's shave!!!
