MAYhem Shave
.....Kinda.....
I was watching ShaveTV yesterday and found this gal who does face shaves as a men did before the Armpit Face Look became a popular thang. She is very diverse in the shave gear that she used.
One of her reviews was of The Focus R48 Dynamic 1/2DE pivoting head razor. She hated it on the first pass because a techno-mechanical razor does not really require the operator precision of the more conventional shavers. By the end of her shave she indicated that she received excellent results and would be keeping the piece.
I had not used either of my R48 razors since I chronicled my shave journey on videos. So I pulled mine out today for the normal exceptionally close and comfortable results it always easily delivers.
For me, learning to shave with diverse gear included knowing what having daily top tier results was like. My top learning experience was to find the precise shave pattern I needed to use to get that perfect ‘to the skin’ ATG stroke. While nowadays I pick up numerous tools and make those strokes without irritation, back then, I could not. To this day, people love to deliver heat to those who enjoy the use of these type of techno-mechanical shaving devices.
Hence.....do as you please......and as long as you obey The Shave Police there will be no Mayhem.
One of my biggest gripes with the R48 was the possibility of misloading the blade. I saw that the latest model addresses that with new blade position retaining pins, but they adjusted the all aluminum model’s geometry to be slight more aggressive. The new all stainless model still maintains the original geometry. I don’t have the newer one on my shopping list because I am satisfied with what I have....and found new pleasure in my straights because of my other Mayhem generator, unauthorized razor hones.
