    Hot wash with Nivea Men Cool 3-in-1
    Hot towel
    RazoRock Plissoft
    Vintage Williams
    Q Shave "Future" (2/3) w/ Gillette 7O'Clock Black Label (5)
    4 passes
    Cold rinse
    Thayers Witch Hazel
    Neutrogena Triple Protect Face Lotion
    Avon Wild Country Cologne

    Acceptable shave.

    I use the AWC so rarely I forget it's a Cologne. I put it on like an AS. Should keep the dogs away from me when I go to the vets later.

    I don't like the procedure for loading the Q Shave. You have to keep your fingers too close to the action, and a slip/slice is always possible.

  11. Lux (Poland)/ BIC (2). Thin stamped bottom plate but all stainless steel. More like the Swedish Swing and Matador than a Tech (differential exposures), gives a fine, efficient shave with the BIC.[​IMG]

  13. Very cool. I had that same razor. Moved the head along, but kept the nice handle.

  14. That sir was a mistake! The more pronounced curve of the blade requires a different angle than typical but find it and it's an excellent efficient shaver. I just bumped a 12 year old thread started by the late Cooncat Bob on another forum where there were a whole lot of guys loving it. I get why.

  18. Another shave with the big brass TAR. @jimjo1031 kindly sent me a sample pack of DE blades and suggested trying the Astra Superior Platinum with the heavyweight. So, I did. :happy088:

    Today’s shave started with a setting of 5, then 3, then 2. All settings on this razor have now been given a shot. Like the last shave, I found the high setting to be surprisingly smooth and easy on the WTG pass. I did get one nick on the chin but it was otherwise uneventful. The second pass at 3 really took the remaining stubble down. And, like the last shave, the last pass (this time at 2) left a surprisingly high number of weepers behind - although less than before. Not sure what’s going on with the ATG passes and the weepers. My speculation is it is the weight of the razor. As I can’t simply rely on gravity to moderate the stroke weight I may be putting too much pressure on the razor. Hard to know but that’s my best guess. :sport026:

    One note on the Astra blade - was it my imagination or does this blade generate a little more noise? I wouldn’t say it rose to the level of Velcro ripping but it was noticeable on some strokes. :signs002:
