This is a pretty close replica of the set up my dad used almost every day for more than 20 years.
He must've had some very good shaves :)

I find setting "7" is the sweet spot for me also Kevin.
Fantastic razors. :)

A friend lend me a few old teutonic bakelite DE safety razors to try for the next weeks and the first one I chose was this gorgeous Fasan Double Slant. It was a very nice experience. The light weight gave it an agility that enabled me to do some fancy techniques (j-hook) on the chin and neck with great results. Due to the extreme torsion of the blade the angle of the head/handle to the face is a bit different than usual. The handle must be almost parallel with the face for optimal angle of the shave. Overall a great shaving experience.

Cracking shave today with the Pol Silver blades courtesy sold by @Blademonkey. Not the closest of shaves but smooth and consistent and most of all comfortable. A real shame they are discontinued, I need to source some more. If anyone has any they are looking to offload give me a shout.

Are they discontinued? If so I should have asked for a better price:) P.
