Damn Comfortable Shave

Here are some closeups of mine:
Straight on both sides - no "v" or ripples in the blade.
I'd use your 1909 like an SE razor and avoid the "v" altogether.

Monday's shave was much like Sunday's shave...
Except I used a new blade, and maybe my technique improved a bit. I'm trying to achieve an even lighter touch.
It seemed like the blade disappeared.
Happy shaves to you,
Jim

Might be a bit scratchy.

Quite.

Today's shave with the Roedter 1909:
Very good results: Smooth, bloodless and free of irritation.

I love the MdC soap, Nivea is a great no-nonsense balm, that HA is (I guess) a good stuff, too. And I'm sure the aftershave is a fine one, as well. EVO is an absolutely phenomenal brush, many would say the very best synthetic out there.
But for the love of me, I cannot make friends with that razor head design. When I see those long protruding pins, it gives me creeps, sorry.. Sorry?? No, I'm not sorry. It's horrendous, there I said it! I'm just being honest. PLS, PS, don't take it as an offense

No worries, Dave.
Appreciate the complements on the rest of the kit.
The Roedter is a Fatip Grande that failed Fatip QC. The Cap has been ground down so that the blade is darn near flat.
It is, to say the least, an interesting razor.

⬆ Why, oh, why did they grind the cap that way? ⬆
Seems to me one of the great things about the Fatip caps is the bend induced in the blade.
Just asking for a friend of course, and doubt anyone here knows.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Were they exports to Belgium? Having heard Raven’s ravings, it would make a lot of sense.

That makes steep steep.

That it does.
Steep + no pressure + total focus = good shave
So the avatar is actually David.

After electric weasels, the Roedter 1909 is a piece of cake.
Prelude to the Afternoon of a Face Ripper? I love Zappa and that one and Hot Rats are great album covers.
