    Post - Alum

    So, what happens in St. Louis on a day in January after the previous day was in the 60's and produced a tornado warning? Why, this, of course....

    Yep. Welcome to the wide, wide world of weather. Currently 28 degrees and about 2 to 3 inches of the white stuff out there. Never gets dull. A bit of an early shave tonight since I was chased home off of the highways and streets. I switched razors to the Fatip. Definitely a top choice for an aggressive shave, I have the Piccolo version of the Fatip. It also comes as the Grande, with the difference being a larger handle on the Grande. However, the Grande handle is hollow, while the smaller Piccolo is solid brass. That makes the Piccolo the heavier of the two since the head is identical. Great little shave that will bite if not respected, but it does a fine, fine job when shown the proper respect. Three passes with a Voskhod in it and I'm BBS smooth, and the alum is just slightly tingly. No complaints. The JR312 with the synthetic horse knot did a better than fine job with the Soap Commander. No complaints there either.

    Not sure what to expect out of the weather tomorrow. Maybe a hurricane. I don't think we've officially had one of those yet. Have a great Sunday!!

    Nice write up. I have none of those razors to compare. I have always been intrigued with the Cobra since it has kind of a legendary status. For me AC razor blades last so long, I wind up using the same razor for like 3-4 weeks. I only have a V1 Hawk, but it works great and I got no complaints. Although I really like the shave from AC blades, if I add another AC razor to the den, I would never get around to using my other DE razors. Lol. I know stupid first world problems. I just hate dumping a blade that is working good. One of these days I will probably pick up one of the Occam SE’s.
