Two days growth, mowed down, with little effort, by a handmade creation from @twhite . With the round cap, it isn't too aggressive, but it is still very efficient. BBS results, and zero sting with the aftershave. The handmade brush by @oscar11 looks great, and feels nice in the hand. The synthetic knot is very very soft, without being floppy. Together, with the ARKO, it was a lathering monster. Razor- "?" By Tom(@twhite ). Rounded Cap. Blade- Gillette 7 O'Clock, Super Platinum. Brush- Handmade by(@oscar11 ). Synthetic knot. Soap- ARKO stick. Aftershave- Pinaud Lime Sec.
Two days growth, with this shave. Testing the Angled Cap, on @twhite 's creation, with a 2 pass shave. I will say, this Angled Cap feels much more aggressive, than the Rounded Cap. The Angled Cap requires more concentration, because it feels like it wants to bite you. The end result was a BBS shave. The Rounded Cap achieved the same results, but with more confidence. The aftershave went on, with stinging results. Not so, with the Rounded Head. I will give one more shave, with the Rounded Cap, before mailing it out, MONDAY(@Jayaruh ). Razor- "?", by Tom(@twhite ). Angled Cap. Brush- Cobalt Blue and Black, by @oscar11 . Synthetic knot. Soap- Arko stick Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicey. "One Good Turn" decanter.
Oops, that was @oscar11 . I was using yours for a while, and it became a habit. Time for me to put names on the bottoms. I will correct it.
Last shave with the "?" Razor, Rounded Cap . As expected, the 2 days of growth came off smoothly. With the Rounded cap, the shave was made with more confidence, its handling was more precise, and was more enjoyable. The aftershave(Pinaud Clubman) went on, with almost zero feedback. So, I would choose the rounded cap, hands down. I very much enjoyed the razor's feel, and ergonomics. Great job, @twhite . Tomorrow it will be headed to @Jayaruh .
TNAC (Tom's Not Another Creation) Razor Feather Hi-Stainless Blade Surrey Boar Brush Barrister & Mann Latha Sandalwood Dickinson's Witch Hazel w/Rose Brut Classic Splash-On After getting this razor, I waited till the following day to shave with it, using the curved top. I decided to wait another couple days to use the angled top, to compare the shaves, using the same items for them. I really didn't notice any difference between the two caps. The angles were easy to find and while, it is a light weight razor, with the feather blade, it was very effective. And yes, two BBS shaves with two passes and minor touch up. I'm hoping to get two more shaves with this razor, but using a heavier handle for each top......................
Updated list 5/8/20 . @dmshaver done 2. @BBS done 3. @cliffb599 done 4. @jmudrick (out for now) 5. @wristwatchb (whenever you are able) 6. @stingrays-rock Done 7. @Jim99 done 8. @poppi withdraw 9. @jimjo1031 has 10. @DaltonGang done 11. @Jayaruh waiting. 12. @Enrico Ok as this pass around is winding down. I have a couple of questions. 1) flat cap or curved cap. What is your preference? And why. 2) would this razor be better if it were heavier? Thank you all for your input. I truly appreciate it. Tom
