View attachment 122491Back home a few hours ago and a wonderful shave was the order of the day.
The Razor & Brush were first to me & neither disappointed.
The Razor is definitely a daily shaver,
one i’d be happy with on a regular basis.
The handle on this brush is first class, A pour of epoxy resin and the knot performs superbly.
I love brushes that are different & unique and this one is certainly that.
A Big Thank Youvto Highlander for making some fantastic handles.
All the best guys enjoy the rest of the week.
a little bit of a conundrum with this qshave futur clone. I had a day and a half of growth and have been using vintage Gillettes for a couple of months so wanted to try something more modern and aggressive for a change. I like the size and weight and feel and the handle is not slippery dispite bring smooth. it has a huge blade gap on most settings but is actually pretty mild. having shaved with shavettes for years, the blade gap doesn't bother me.
during the shave though, it felt like one side was shaving more and the other wasn't cutting. after the second pass, I took the head off and sure enough, lather stuck to one blade edge and very little on the other. only click on the attachment below if you don't mind being grossed out by some stubble.
I flipped the blade and used the other side for a pass and just ignored the milder side entirely. then I put the blade into a tech to finish up. I'd decided this razor definitely needs binned since it's uneven and unpredictable but in the end, I got a really smooth, close, comfortable result. I guess I could use only one side of it at a time but life's too short and there's plenty better razors and I'm not certain I could reliability replicate the results even with that. probably I'd like something that shaves like this, not this. I don't think adjustables are for me either, I just left it on 4.
I'll give my lord head a run out soon since I remember it having quite a large blade gap. or bring out the R41 head but I remember that being too raw and aggressive.
fantastic shave result overall but not sure if I should bin this right away this or give it one more try.
