Heritage Collections Ever Ready 200 clone - 2 band badger
Feather AC DX (Kamisori style)
Schick ProLine B30
Long working weekend, didn't have time to post/respond. Did read through as much as possible, still 350ish posts behind. Yesterday's shave and today's shave using the same PAA products, only the razor changed. Yesterday was the Drew Dick - Green Kirinite straight, 3 pass DFS+ result. No visit from Mr. Nick or that bad boy Uncle Cut.
Today's shave....3 pass DFS+ also. 1 ever so small corner of the mouth red spot. Other than this, everything worked as expected, thick rich lather from the ER 200 clone loaded with a 2 band badger. New blade loaded in the DX, enabled by a couple 30DCr's...the Schick ProLine B-30. I have the B-20 options for my Supply razors, just needed a nudge to assimilate. Really like the Schick ProLine blades (thanks
@Linuxguile!), they are seriously sharp, but awesomely smooth, straight out of the gate. Second pass was a lot of fun, spent a few strokes 'riding the blade' on the flats of my cheeks and neck. For me, this technique would be described as having the overall angle with the blade holder almost flat against the skin, but the blade is also in contact with the skin just lightly enough to shave. Pressure is used to control the blade contact 'line'. Easy to control with the DX, as it isn't very wide (blade edge to spine). May have to commit a few days in a row to using this pairing.....pretty sure a 2 pass BBS is easily achievable. Aren't a few of y'all doing a shavette focus/rule soon? I'll join in.....
Hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday!
