Well, the Aluminum went smoother than the brass. I enjoyed a similar shave, but with a little less blade feel. I used a steep angle & was rewarded with a much easier shave. Not mindless, but certainly less aware of the razor waiting to pounce with a nick, as the brass felt. I used similar settings as before, 1 for 1st pass, 3 for 2nd pass, & 5 for my 3rd pass. My preference between the two is for the aluminum. The lighter weight made the razor more maneuverable in my hands & it didn't slide up to the head in my hands either. According to my scales, the brass TARS weighs in at 155g, & the aluminum TARS weighs 56g. That's a substantial difference to someone whose current razor of choice, a vintage Gillette President, weighs 66g. A well thought out & well-made razor, thank you for letting me try it. It will be in the mail Monday.
Alright, the pass around is now complete. @Jayaruh has both razors. Jim will be keeping the Brass TAR as a token of my appreciation for him running the pass around. I offered what ever one he preferred. That leaves the Aluma TAR. I will have a drawing for it. Rules. There are only 2. 1. You have to have participated in the pass around. 2. You just need to post “gimme gimme gimme” Or what ever silly reply you choose. I truly appreciate you guys trying out my razors. Tom
Tom, I will hang on to the Alumi-TAR and send it to the winner if you like. Or I can just send it to you.
