I had a special treat for my shave today: I received a package in the mail yesterday with the two newest creations by
@twhite. The brass version is very much a beast, and both are beautiful. The adjustment mechanism is smooth and easy to operate. For today's shave, I chose the aluminum version and set it to 2. Compared to the brass it is a lightweight, but when you use it, the weight feels just about right. There is a slight blade feel at this setting, enough to let you know the razor is doing its thing. The proper angle is intuitive and easy to find. After my first pass, I had a noticeable reduction with no discomfort. Very smooth. A little re-application of lather, and I set up for my second pass. This too was also very smooth, as my typical routine is more or less a XTG pass on number two. After a quick rinse, I could tell I had a nice DFS plus, and I left it there. One shave in, and I am very impressed with this razor. I will likely follow up with the same razor tomorrow, but I will dial it up a bit.
Tom, I must again applaud this razor. Terrific job!
