Not deeper. Rooney, Thater, all 3 of the VieLong beehives have bigger, rounder ridges, while the Varlet has double the ridges as they are smaller and are crisper with a little edge to ridges while the first three mentioned the bumps are smoothed/rounded out .Varlet feels a lot better in my hands, easier to maneuverer around my face and neck.
Thanks Tim for the compliment. I try most of the time to match sets but I have enough gear in house to setup a small shave store which makes it easier for me. Be too embarrassed to tell anyone how much gear I really have and on occasion stumble upon an item I forgot I have and I even keep a spreadsheet with all the gear and number of uses for each item.

July 2018 July 8 Razor - Qshave (6 - setting OMG) Blade - (2) Soap - Stirling Mountain Man Brush - Jayaruh #54 Post - Alum Day two with the Qshave on 6, Ladas loaded up, and another fine Stirling product to whip up with the JR54. I'm not sure how much more luxurious this could get but I'll keep trying day by day. This soap always takes me back to a time when I wore a daily cologne that has a very similar scent. It's a really pleasant and easy to take scent and makes the shave all that much better. As far as the actual shave - I once again found the baby on two passes and very little touch up. With the gap this thing has, throw in a sharp blade, get your angle and just pay attention. It makes for an incredibly aggressive yet smooth and fun shave! If they'd make this razor out of brass instead of zinc I might think about turning it into a daily shaver! Monday arrives soon for most of you. Have a great start to your week out there!

Mon. 7/9/18 Good morning friends. I am nearing the end of my vacation in Florida. We board a flight tomorrow and as relaxing as it's been, I'm sick of shaving with a travel kit. I miss my good stuff! A fine three pass shave nevertheless, culminating in a smooth and refreshing finish as thrilless as it was. Enjoy your day friends. ☺
Menthol Monday's Shave C.O. Bigelow Ever-Ready 200T Boar GEM Contour GEM Blue STAR CS SE CWR Aqua Velva Musk The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Ever-Ready 200T Boar brush. I did two passes with the GEM Contour Razor with a GEM Blue STAR CS SE blade blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: S_J Zebrano 24mm ST Soap: CRSW Select Bergamot & Bay Razor: Gem MMOC Blade: Gem Stainless ptfe Post: Cold water rinse, Vitamin E Oil, Boots Bay Rum A sublime beginning to what looks like another sunny week and the Open Comb reminded me why it's my favourite Micromatic. Helped along its way by the very slick CRSW lather and capped off by the cheap but lovely Boots Bay Rum. Happy Shaving one and all.
