Many TG enthusiasts ask me a question about the aggressiveness of the Monocero Husaria. What is the difference between OC and CC. I explain below.
CC
OC
Monocero Husaria razor was designed and made on the basis of my own experience in shaving and using other razors. The produced prototype underwent a series of objective tests, the comments of which were included in the final product.
1. GAP
Monocero HUSARIA CC I OC has a GAP - 1.4 mm./ 0.55 inches
- Close Comb
Why is it so big and is it a killer? GAP is not, as a parameter, fully responsible for the aggressiveness of the razor. The fact that the GAP is large does not immediately determine the structure as aggressive, because in order to do so, other parameters must be correlated.
In this case, the GAP has been engineered at this level to overcome the clogging tendency of the razor used to remove dense stubble. Thanks to this, the foam with stubble is easily pushed under the blade, without causing the cutting edge to be marred.
- Open Comb
The OC version is a solution for people who shave every few days and remove longer stubble. The use of a solution completely different from the classic OC, i.e. the so-called teething, is intended to increase the comfort of shaving. On the guide beam, which is not notched, there are rounded convexities, thanks to which the sharp edges of the teeth (as in Muhle41) do not cause discomfort.
- Mix Comb
This head is a solution to the economy and intensity of use. Mix Comb combines the CC and OC properties in one head.
2. EXPOSURE OF THE BLADE
This element of the head geometry is the second most
frequent query regarding the aggressiveness of the Monocero Husaria razor. As we know from the experience of using adjustable razors such as Merkur Progres, Futur, Vision, etc., the variable exposure of the blade directly affects the aggressiveness of the razor. In Monocero Husaria razors, the blade exposure is constant and positive.
The blade exposure parameter has a significant impact on the comfort of shaving and, above all, on its effectiveness. It depends on the degree of deflection beyond the leading edges of the lower bar and the cap whether we collect the stubble on the top layer of the epidermis or deeper. The effect of this parameter is the test of the next day, which is the time of hair regrowth. You may be meeting in your shaving experience that despite being shaved on the so-called PN, in some cases the condition fluctuates hourly, and in others it lasts longer.
3. BLADE ANGLE
The angle of the blade, or the bend of the razor blade, has a major influence on the comfort of shaving. It is very well visible in the Merkur Vision razor, where the head is narrow and the razor blade is strongly bent. The Monocero Husaria has an angle of 20 degrees.
This type of solution causes the head to be intuitively guided over the face and eliminates the scratching effect.
I hope that this imaging will allow you to visualize the level of aggressiveness and effectiveness of the Monocero Husaria.
