So, I love my Superspeeds- I’ll never be without one. I love my New Long Comb- I thought it might be “the One”. I’ll admit I’m still getting to know my Techs- (we’ve agreed we need to see other people). I can get a great shave with any of those razors.
But I have fallen head over heels for my New Short Comb! This morning, using my normal prep and an Astra SS blade, I did one N-S pass, relathered then once ATG, then a little blade buffing with just water on a couple spots I missed. Effortless.
And it was as good a shave as I have ever had using a 3-4 pass shave with any other razor. With zero irritation.
I am blown away. I always thought my preference was for mild shavers, (since I tend to use steep angles and I tend to be lazy with prep). But the effortless efficiency of the New SC has me converted.
Is there a New Short Comb club? Who do I see about dues and the secret handshake? I may have found my desert island razor!
