Thanks so much Jeff!

 

What channel so I can subscribe?

 

It rubs off on you sooner or later in here . When I joined I got the jitters using a mild double edge. Now its like " Hold my beer, I got an idea"

 

Thanks, yours was on private I think

 

I'm trying to fix that problem now . Linked you the butterknife one .

 

Here's the spring shaver vid .

 

Mom was a year younger.

 

Saw 1 cheek and 1 side of neck anyway. You goatee guys cheat I found Fuzzies anyway

 

Tuesday's Shave

Mühle R102
Feather (3)
Omega 11126 Boar
Razorock Tuscan Oud Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Razorock Tuscan Oud Aftershave

Today is my 6th shave with the R102. The first 3 shaves were with a Voskhod blade and the next 3 were with a Feather blade. I really did not see a difference in the results and I only detected a slightly different (sharper) feel on day 1 with the Feather (could have been a placebo effect). I'm not too familiar with Feather DE blades, as I think this is only the third one I've used.
The blade today felt like it was nearing the end of its life cycle. The same was true for the Voskhod on day three. Usually I get four good shaves from a Voskhod.
I'm wondering if this razor somehow allows the blade to dull quicker than other razors. There's a good bit of blade exposure and not really much blade torque with this head design.
Are Feather DE blades known for longevity? I know from my own experience that their FHS-10 single edge blades only last two shaves in an AutoStrop razor before they get tuggy.

2 easy passes for this morning's shave provided a comfortable and efficient result with no irritation or mishaps. This Tuscan Oud scent really does have some Alt-Innsbruck DNA to it and I will most likely repurchase the set when I use it up.

 

No goatee now !!!

 

I didn't see it get removed in the video. Just teasing, so gem blade attached to a butter knife was it? Nice job !

Edit- So that was you with the spring too. My bad. Good job !!

 

I have 1/2 of your shave set up.....missing the Tuscan Oud A.S.

 

I really like it.

 

Thanks . I've since removed the goatee but have used some of my "razors" on the whole face . I also have the shingle shaver, bottle opener shaver, door catch shaver and a few more here somewhere. I should look and see if I made any vids using them. I'm not comfortable being in front of the camera.

 

Now that is a rat-razor if I ever saw one.....clearly beyond redemption.

Maybe you should just send it to me.

 

Been busy for a few days. Continuing with the Ozark Mountain focus. Good shaves all around. I’ll be back soon. Keep the light on for me!

 

I think @Norcalnewb freehanded a Feather DE on May 1.

That was ‘game over man’ for me.

 

You know very well my obfuscating friend!

 

Nice Andrew! In my limited use....noticed that Feather blades (DE or SE) seem to be more finicky with set down errors, usually pressure related, and mostly for the first shave. After that, much the same as any. I’m a 2, maybe 3 use with most blades....the neck really gets uncomfortable if I try and stretch for more.
