Just out of interest Al, if you were offered a £1,000 SR free of charge (not by me obviously, this is hypothetical stuff) with your own choice of:A straight shave, obviously uncoated, can give me a comfortable shave, if my technique is reasonable, and health issues aren't getting in the way. They are a lot more particular about what lathers they will work with though, and the cutting action still doesn't feel as nice as a coated DE blade to me. I also think that a slightly coarser edge works better for me, as too polished an edge can give a similar (but lesser) cling to what I described with the Shark Super Chrome, as if some striations on the edge help break the vac lock between the blade and the hair stump.
- Steel
- Blade shape (wedge/bellied hollow/whatever)
- Size (3/8, 9/8, whatever)
- Blade Length (standard 3" or shorter)
- Scale material (and shape [if different to "normal"])
- Anything else
This is leading up to another question, but I'd like your answer to the above first, please.
