Famex w/Schick Twin blade


Since I bought some of these N.O.S. Schick twin double edge double sided blades I figured this was the razor to try the first shave on. These blades do not make the shave any smoother but that are much more efficient than a single edge double sided blade. You still need to use very lite pressure or this razor will cut you good if you aren't careful. End result a glass like BBS finish with the razor fully tightened, something I don't get with a regular double edge blade with this razor. These blades so far are an improvement shave wise from the standard double edge blades.

 

Tuesday OCtober 22

Today I went with the Grand Shave King SLOC. This gave me a nice mild shave though not as close as the razors from last week.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Le Pere Lucien Savon du Barbier (France)
Brush - Brad Sears
Blade - Gillette Platinum (6)
Razor - Grand Shave King
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Floid SE Mentolado Vigoroso A/S

Shave rating 4 of 5

This Grand Shave King is a mild razor and not very efficient. I received a good shave in 2 passes. The first pass WTG was smooth with almost no blade feel, and not very efficient and it left me with some stragglers, <DFS. The second pass, XTG and again was a very smooth pass with a little blade feel and and finished DFS. The Le Pere lather generated quickly and was excellent on both passes. I got a 2 pass, nick and weeper free shave. The alum was silent, even on my neck area which is unusual. I finished off with the Floid A/S.

Overall, a really good shave. Going with some US made OC razors this week.

Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
