What did we learn from our last shaves?

    I am thinking about going with a TGN Synthetic knot for a new handle I have coming in. I see that you used a 24 mm knot for your olive wood handle. What size was the opening in the handle? I appreciate your help.

    I am doing thirty days with a Plisson and have observed this also. Synthetics do a great job of mixing air into the soap! The Plisson has made face lathering even easier.

    Gentlemen, from my last shave...

    A modern injector blade runs its course (on my face) in seven shaves. Should have quit in six!

    The handle vendor stated the opening is/was '25mm' which was very close. Tight fit for the 24mm knot, but it worked.

    I learned that even with a pretty dense five day growth, the Ikon 102 / Personna blue combo mowed that stuff down quickly and without tugging at all.

    Also learned I still have to do a better beard map and be extra careful on my neck. So the next shave will have to wait until the sensitivity subsides.

    Always give your hardware a quick exam. I found the blade had a defect on one of the edges. It was bent and raised up in one area. Caught it and disposed of it, but it was probably why my last 2 shaves weren't very nice at all.

    I learned that the Schick twin 2002 DE blade is pretty cool and gives a good shave

    The blades are why I quit injectors, but not I love Modern SEs in general.
