LOAN-OUT No. 1 Shave-ready Straight Razor (AU only)
- Thread starter rbscebu
- Start date
Sunday was the first use of the loan SR.
I have about 20 SRs in my collection which haven't seen much use for a while as I have been using an artist club shavette or safety razors.
I usually find SRs take some extra effort under the chin where the hair takes a 'last stand' approach. Generally testing technique and the edge.
Prep was shower, face splash and a wet lather of Seaforth.
The shave:
The first couple of strokes on two days growth were a little hard. This was due to being use to the shavette. The feedback from an SR is much more pronounced, like slowly undoing velcro. Once I was about half way into the 1st pass I had settled in to the shave and things felt more natural.
The hair under my chin did offer up some challenge to the SR, but I would say this SR was slightly better than my own edges.
This was the knowledge I was looking for - my edges are decent, but do have room for improvement
The fools pass was good and I had a very nice shave with only a couple of weepers which were gone by the end.
The Malizia aftershave had minimal burn confirming thing went well. Although I did get a little teary due to all the menthol crystals I have added to it.

@StratMan is getting addicted. He has decided to keep his loan-out. Haven't heard from @JaggardJ yet about what he intends to do with his loan-out GD66. I have a couple more GD66 SRs on their way to me from China.
I will prepare a couple of my spare Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 SRs soon for loan-outs. They will be offered in a new thread.

@JaggardJ has returned his GD66 and @Gargravarr is not in a position to borrow the GD66 until at least early next year.
I now again have a shave-ready Gold Dollar 66 available for loan-out. Please read this threads original post and let me know in this thread if you are interested.

This loan-out is closed.
These two loan-out Gold Dollar 66 SRs are now each under contract to be purchased. Once I get some more suitable SRs to loan out, a new loan-out thread will be started.
