Good Saturday morning to all.
Razor- 1953 G8 Schick
Blade- Schick B-20
Soap- Razorock Mudder Focker
Brush- Omega Badger
Finish- Nivea
After the 30DF with my R41 and the 3 days with a 1905 Gillette, I decided to switch gears. The G8 gave me a wonderful DFS but not without some extra fidgeting. Don't get me wrong, I can get very nice and close shave with it, but it is picky how you hold the stick.
Seems to have a very narrow sweet spot. Unlike the blade holders I'm accustomed to, if you go to far one way or the other, it just doesn't shave.
So once I found where the razor likes to mow down the wiskers, all went fine. I know why some like this little whisker cutter. I can be a little lazy with my skill set and still get a close comfortable shave.
This mornings 3 pass face turned into a 4 pass on some areas, with no ill effect. My 3 pass head shave was just that, 3 passes and no issues.
I tried this razor weeks ago but using different blades and the pulling wss
unbearable, but with the B-20 blades the pulling had vanished. I loaded 7 blades into the injector by removing the back and leaf spring. I then reassembled it with the B-20 blades being careful not to damage the new blades.
