Shave 4
Plate 5 this morning was a little too aggressive for the kind on mindless, easy shave I’ve gotten used to from this razor in the last 4 days. Plate 5 wasn’t bad, but I did get a little cut on the ATG pass (on my chin, which is usually where it happens).
I would be more careful in the future, but plate 4 was just so easy, and gave me a great shave, that I think that’s the sweet spot for me and would be my daily driver if I owned this razor.
So, tomorrow I’m back to plate 4.
Also, I saw some room in the box this morning and tossed in a 10 pack of the Personna Israeli Reds I’ve been using. They have worked really well for me, but as with all blades, YMMV. The box will now come with a pretty good variety of blade options (Astra, Derby, Personna, and Rockwell).
Same here with plate 5. I tend to start a new blade on 3 then move to 4 as it smooths out. Great review, thank you.
