After shaving so long with my Super Speed, this morning I decided to see how my Lord Super performs, and I was once again very pleased. Compared to the Super Speed, this razor is slightly aggressive, but with care and good attention even a beginner can handle it well. Man, is that Gada Cool Mint cream a pleasure--the menthol is so nice, and the scent drives me crazy!

Shaved twice today, one 2 quick passes early this morning before teaching, and 2 passes 12 hours later before playing a concert...Tonight's shave wasn't really nessasary but I like a fresh shave before a gig...And man it was great. I held the razor with all finger tips, by the whole handle instead of the usual 2 or 3 finger-tips at the end of the handle. And the Super-Lather was on the thick side and really lubricated my skin so with each stroke the razor just glided leaving a perfectly clean BBS path in it's wake...This could be my closest, just perfect, dare I say it, Cary Grant type shave...What I can't get over is this is as close as any Barber-Shop Shave I've ever gotten and in hardly 2 Passes with no touch-up...Like the man says...A Shave So Close, So Fast and Easy, It's Almost Effortless"..:happy108

Star Brand St8/Rolls/Everest Russian shave cream/VieLong Horsehair/Vintage English Leather​

This Star Brand straight ain't a Looker, but she does alright by me. Had to do a quick touch up with the Rolls on those hard to get areas on my chin and neck. Then the Rolls shaved the dome BBS with ease.​
