@Pbgoose already shaved with it mate.. all good.. posted in the SOTD thread this morning, love this razor, going to give it another try tomorrow morning to gauge if it can be a daily driver
original post:
was all set to start the shave with the stock handle but changed to the rockwell handle last minitue from some handy advice from
@SpeedyPC .. loaded with a fresh polsilver blade.
wow did i learn a few things today!!! i got a good appreciation of what a difference angle can make and also now understand what blade feel is.
Was set to tacke a 3 day wirey beard, first pass, WTG pass with zero touch pressure,. I was amazed at how much hair the R41 mowed down on the first pass.. at first my angle was a bit too steep, with the handle to close to the face and felt a bit of scraping. Quickly adjusted to an angle more with riding the cap and it smoothed out immediately.. i was very impressed.
lathered up and went for the second pass XTG and again wow.. i was totally suprised at how smooth, comfortable and efficient the razor was.. I could of easily stopped here with an excellent DFS but i am forever the BBS chaser and went for it.
I was a little apprehensive to go ATG as i had read many comments of things going bad, but i had to know. WOW!!! again super smooth and the results were amazing. Super close BBS, even in my trouble areas around the neck / adams apple...
After those 3 passes plus a light touch up, my face felt fine, no razor burn evident. Applied the splash and confirmed that the shave ended up the closest i have ever had, comfortable, no nicks or cuts, no burn.. i love this razor!!!
