Finished my second shave with my Canadian E2 (late model) I lathered up with AOS sandalwood cream. I used my new Boar WD mounted to my 3D brush. I really like the Boar nice backbone.
Anyhow lathered up and did pass 1 WTG. Today I concentrated on finding that right angle. this pass ended with even reduction. I could tell not as good as my US E2. But it was an even reduction.
Lathered for pass 2 XTG this time I decided to do something i have not really tried before. I applied some pressure. Very little mind you just a touch.
I instantly noticed more audible feedback. finished up pass 2. More reduction but not on the scale of the US E2.
Went for pass 3 ATG. Again I went with light pressure and still had the nice feed back. I rinsed off and felt around. It was a nice passable shave. I could have stopped there. My face felt fine so I decided to do a 4th pass ATG. I used the same technique as previous pass. I rinsed off when I finished and had a DSF no touchup needed.
What I am gathering after 2 shaves with this razor. It feels almost impossible to cut yourself. It requires some pressure to start getting a good pass with nice feedback. It san definitely benefit from a sharper blade. I will have my Daughter go to her hair store. She is a stylist, so she can get good prices on gear. I will have her pick up some Feather Pro blades. Then I will give those a spin.
These Schick E's are very nice to hold and are smooth shavers. I just need to find the blade that works best for me.
As always these are only my observations. YMMV
