Detour Week Day #6
Razor : Fatip Gold OC (
Blade: Astra
Soap: Arko
Brush: Rocky Mountain
Balm / Aftershave : Speick / Farenheit
A bit of a gap for me as I've been busy. The Fatip OC came in with a perfect shave and has done a couple of days running. I think of all of them it is easiest to use for me as it gives brilliant feedback (and lets you know if you get it wrong). The other Fatip did the business too and it really is close between them.
The longevity count so far
Merkur Futur - 3 pass shave and clean up lasted well to about 5pm, by later evening growth coming through. Post shave alum felt good.
Muhle R41 -3 pass shave and clean up, felt good up to abut 7ish. Post shave alum a bit tingly in places
Merkur 33C - 3 pass shave. Lasted to 5sih maybe a little longer. Post shave alum was spot on
Ottoman - 3 pass shave. Lasted through to 5ish but a tiny bit rougher at 5pm than the 33C
Fatip Gentile - 3 pass shave, face comfortable after the shave which lasted through to late evening in terms of comfort
Fatip OC - 3 pass shave , no alum sting post shave, lasted the longest of all (had a day off since there wasn't much to do though that meant a lumberjack look on the non shave day). What is nice with this razor is that a 2 pass and tiny touch up gives me a good "shave for the day" , the three pass leaves me perfect all over but two is perfect on a daily basis. I've read that Joris "improved" the head, I don't see what they could have but ever these things are YMMV.
Hope everyone has great day. No pics from me today as that li'l Fatip has been all over this thread
