This week, I am comparing the Rex Envoy with the Mühle Rocca R95 V4. Fresh Perma-Sharp blades were loaded in each razor. The plan is to alternate days until I have five shaves on each razor/blade.
The standard shave process will be:
Pass #1: WTG. N > S on my face. S > N on my neck.
Pass #2: XTG. Ear, TMJ, neck on both sides to the center of my face, chin, Adam's Apple.
Pass #3: ATG. S > N on my face. N > S on my neck.
Pass #4: Touchup. XTG TMJ to chin on both sides. ATG/XTG TMJ/jawline to Adam's Apple on both sides of my neck. ATG/XTG TMJ to nose/mouth on both sides of my face.
The brushes I'll alternate are the Wild West Brushworks Invasion Handle (TNS 26mm Original BOSS Fan) and the Wild West Brushworks Volcanic Ash Handle (TNS 26mm Original BOSS Fan) - both synthetics, same knot type, same loft, very similar handles.
Soap is the wonderful Musgo Real Classic - one of my absolute favorite soaps that does most everything right!
I'll post pictures of each day's kit to this thread. Full shave and comparison notes will be detailed in my Journal:
