The Ascension SS paired with the Gamechanger Radio Knob handle. Provided very good feel and excellent balance, more so than the original Bomb Tip handle for the Ascension. Just an excellent shave today.....

Again, the Old Type. Paired it with a new Voshkod blade and just went to work with supreme efficiency and smoothness. 3 pass drop the mike performance. I’ve said too much already.....

​

 

Tatara OC... proving to be more efficient than aggressive. Kinda sneaky that way. I like it. Weight and handling for me are spot on.

That handle looks awesome!

Thank you, Herm. The handle does go nicely with the New LC. I'm used to using heavier razors so the added weight is welcome as well.

With the Jeeves T&BL is there a major burn from the tobacco at the beginning, or does the Bay Leaf cool it down some?
