  1. I know, Jeff! I am not complaining about the efficiency about the Shake Sharp razor. It's good to have different razors for many situations. I use my safety razors when I really need a very quick shave as opposed to this morning's quick shave with my Dovo shavette. Lol! One more thing, if I use a feather blade, then I want to use it on my shavettes. I like to live dangerously. I have a rep to uphold. Lol!

  4. Wow, Jeff. That sounds like an incredible shave. I'd have been afraid to start stacking blades in order to get the razor to work. Oh, and... :bounce017::greet002::bounce017:

  5. Beautiful looking shave, Jason. That brush handle is smoking-jacket-and-pipe classy! Hope you get to feeling better quickly. :)

  10. Tim, it was a Monday. If they don't start rough they get rough before lunch. I shed a little blood from time to time but I am lucky, I have never had issues with razor burn or irritation.

  14. Thanks, Jim! :)
    Unless you're living it. For whatever crazy reason, those 1st shaves with the Personna can be bite-y for me. Still, only 2 more DE shaves to go--keeping my fingers crossed.
    As am I, kind sir. As am I! ;)

    And thank you!
    Thanks, Joe! :)
    Much appreciated, Terry! :)

  20. Actually, in a way, I had some trouble with it only one aspect. One of the reasons I wanted to move on to an adjustable is I figured I could always change the tilt of my razor to mimic the angle of a slant. But if you are used to shaving like that, and do so with a slant, it then becomes a... normal. Caught myself "normalizing" my slant a couple times during the shave :happy102:
