Dave
@Dave in KY was gracious and loaned me the Famex to try out. He also sent his working Stahly handle for me to try out and an Enders razor to add to my den. Thanks a bunch Dave....y'all Kentucky boys are alright.
Nothing to really say about the soap except is was just good stuff the morning.
Onto the Famex.
I have always admired the caged heads. They are very unique and are just great looking razors. I honestly thought I would never get to hold one much less shave with one so the ATT focus got put on hold for a while.
The exposure is adjustable on the Famex by tightening or loosening the handle. I tightened the handle down which gave a minimum exposure for the first pass. First pass was awesome. I loosened the handle up a little and open the throttle up. Oh yeah....me likie a lot. No drama and an easy angle to find. Not quite a BBS but a GEFW shave........good enough for work.
The alum was barely noticeable and I finished the shave off in the usual manner.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and it is going to be hard to put the Famex back in the mail to Dave.....we are bonding.
Thanks again Buttercup!
