Colibri (Hummingbird) safety razor w/plate 1.50mm.
Astra SP (3)
Mitchell’s Wool Fat shaving soap
Razorock 400 synthetic shave brush.
Scottish Antique by Andy Hilfiger cologne.
Another awesome shave with the Hummingbird this morning.
The Razorock 400 whipped up some amazing Fat this morning. It is just hard to beat the Fat.
I throwed the 1.50mm plate in the Colibri this morning and I have to admit that I was a little reluctant. I figure this was going to be the bad boy in the bunch but I was suprised. I tad bit more blade feel than the 1.30mm plate but nothing uncomfortable or excessive. It is a smooth and efficient plate. No drama or blood loss....just a great shave. Three passes for a BBS and just a hint of alum in one place on the neck.
A little witch hazel and Scottish Antique and I'm smooth and smelling good.
The only negative comment I have about the Colibri is the excessive blade overhang on the sides of the head. I don't mind a little but I like to grab the sides of the head to tighten or loosen the handle and the blade overhang makes it very uncomfortable. I took some kitchen shears and trimmed the blade this morning. No more overhang. I do like the narrow head of the Colibri and I don't mind this trade off.
Overall a very well made razor that I really enjoy and is a dream to drive. I will come back and spend some more time with the 1.10 and 1.30mm plates. I need to dial them in a little more.
Happy Friday everyone....the weekend is almost here!
