    Certain words go a long way but I'm afraid I'd run out of vocabulary awfully fast. :happy102:

    When I joined the British Forces & went to England folks couldn't understand me..They struggled with the Hard Rough West of Scotland Accent..As time went on of course my vocabulary became more articulate..I used to be a University Lecturer Teaching Social Policy & the Students used to say that I spoke like a Professor & they didn't understand what I was saying with my Philosophical Concepts...Everything changes but something's remain the same..:happy097:

    Two weeks with the Bunny Razor V3 by @twhite

    With my first week being a bit up and down with the Bunny, I feel I've turned the corner yesterday and am about to hit my stride.

    This morning I awoke with barely enough stubble to justify a two-pass shave. But I made the sacrifice for the sake of being a lab rat and set up for a two-pass shave.

    I’ve planned an XTG and ATG shave with just the 'Notso' comb. My thought is to follow this with shaves to round out this last week of my Bunny trials with a mix and match of combs - 1st Pass 'Notso' or 'Wild' comb, followed by a 2nd pass with the 'Mild' comb.

    Today's two-pass with the Notso was very good. On my first pass (XTG) I'm always looking for reduction - focused on angle and no pressure, while mapping efficient stroke coverage. That's the basic strategy for my two-pass shave towards a goal of smoothness without irritation. This first pass was excellent.

    My 2nd pass (ATG) is the Closer - angle, stroke pressure and direction has to be perfect to achieve the the elusive BBS without irritation. Cheeks are usually easy, with the degree of difficulty rising from neck to jawline to chin and mouth corners in that order. (Sporting a Groucho mustache, I skip the upper lip minefield.)

    The Notso did as well or better on the neck and jawline than any of my other razors. But it seemed a tad aggressive on the chin and mouth corners to where mild irritation showed up during and after the shave. The closeness was as good as I can remember on any razor so this combo has potential as my skills with the razor grows.

    Tomorrow I'll use the same comb on first pass and dial back to use the 'Mild' comb on the 2nd pass.

    I'm really enjoying this Tom!

    Cheers!

    Thank you Tom, that helps a lot. I was afraid that when you changed combs, the blade would be exposed (silly me) and the little twist toward yourself is immensely valuable when loading a blade. Thanks

    Great report Vince. :happy088: Glad to read you are going to try switching combs for the final pass next. I think it's going to make it even tougher to send the Bunny on it's way. :cool:

    Take heart, numpty is also a term of endearment. ;)

    Yesterday's shave used the Notso comb for both passes.

    But I think I found my happy place today - 2-pass shave:
    1st pass - XTG - Notso comb
    2nd pass - ATG - Mild comb

    1st pass every bit effective as yesterday, but dialing back just a bit with the Mild comb on second pass reduced most all irritation. Will try the same tomorrow and really focus on light pressure and minimal strokes.

    Just an added thought...i can't discount that the extra slickness of the lather today helped with the comfort as well.

    Cheers!
