Great shave Fred. Good luck at work!
Good read Fred. I purchased the whole line of ATT baseplates right before I started shaving with a straight razor. Great razors all, but I settled on the H2 plate as my den DE, and the S2 is my travel DE. I have only used 3 blades since coming back to the DE, and I love them all. The Astra SP, Feather and most recently Polsilver Super Iridium.
Wow! You bought the whole line! I really like my M1. I have actually been eyeballing the S1 for something different. I have read that it is slightly more aggressive than the M1. As slow as my facial hair grows, I don't need anything too aggressive.
An rc heli sounds cool.....and those ATT razors are very nice - I had an S2 that was great.
When I got the ATT DE plates, I began with the R2. I had a significant number of shaves with this razor when they released the slant. I would categorize the S2 as being more mild than the R2. I also have read that it is right in between the M and R. When I say I got the whole line of plates Fred, I mean I got the whole line of open comb plates. Interestingly, I have never shaved with the M2 plate yet, so I cannot validate that the S3 plate is in between the R and the M. I can say it is milder than the R. I currently have the M2, S2, R2, and H2 plates for DE, and version 1 SE2 as well as version 2 SE2 for the AC type single edge.
I think I have a few soaps/AS that the SWMBO just doesn't like so I wear it when she won't be around.
We try!I think I have a few soaps/AS that the SWMBO just doesn't like so I wear it when she won't be around.
This is funny! My wife says she doesn't like it. I tell her, "Well, I think it smells good, and the smell is for me to enjoy!" Of course, this is as I am stepping out the door for work. That way, I can close the door before the flying stuff hits me!Amy (SWMBO) is very sensitive to smell, and doesn't like anything. That is why I wear AS splash every day!
Thanks Eric. I think there is something off with it. I don't know why, but I ended up with quite a bit of irritation from the shave. I think some of it is the point, so I need to mute it a bit. It is just really harsh and not quite sharp enough. I will see where I get with another round no the stones.Great stuff Fred, and good luck on the Berg!
This is very true. I just use the sim to keep the crashes at a minimum.Yes my friend has had quite a few $$$ crashes. It's not a question of if you are going to wreck or crash and RC, be it plane, helicopter, or car, but when and how much damage is going to be done.
Thanks Eric. I think it could still be better, but I did get quite a close shave with this edge. I could barely feel the stubble near the end of the day. We will see how it is after a couple more shaves.Good job on the honing! Swedes can be a pain to hone, but get it dialed in and you're rewarded with an amazing and long lasting edge.
Thank you Chris.Nice job with the honing. It can sure be frustrating sometimes.
