The Shavette Showdown
Round 2
*Feather DX - Feather Professional Super
*Focus R21 Evolution plastic doodad barbering tool - 1/2 Feather DE
*Focus R28 Slim Al - 1/2 Gillette Silver Blue DE
I had to look back in the archives to see when I started this throwdown. It has been a month. Well I think I'll try to finish up this month.
Finished up my first tub of BoS 2019 (Tsuka). Glad I got backups of the #1 slot holder on The Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks. Stirling still has Tsuka left. Max Headroom says don't whine to him if you miss out again.
The Exalted Blue Ming was on hand to oversee the supreme lather controls for the competition.
The only blood on steel showing up was the soap. 3 excellent shaves with a jostle in the works.
I have not experienced any shave at the level of the Feather DX - ProSuper combo on shave 1. Shave #2 still has the DX on top.
My next shave was the all aluminum Focus R28 Slim Al with my pre-AC shavette fave, the GSB. End result was as good as the DX even though it did not sever hair with the same ease. It would be hard to tell the difference between shaves 1 and 2.
Third shave was using my first shavette, the Focus R21 Evolution loaded with a Feather. I'm curious about how Feather AC vs Feather DE would work out. The shave was better than #1 because it seemed to smooth out (not unlike this blade for me elsewhere). Most of the time, the R28 outshaves the R21 just a bit with the same blade. The Feather on (2) makes this one up over for a #2 finish.

Well folks, happy shaves.
Really great to hear from the folks not seen in a while. Happy New Year to you!
And...... for the newcomers...... you are getting a good glimpse of our great friend, the sometimes incendiary..... 'danger' Charlie........who as a young slide-stick carrying chemical engineering prodigy, was able to "cherry bomb" the High School commode and successfully pin it on his buddies.
