Fumbling about.
Interesting shave this Sunday morning with my simulated Wolfman 1.35.
Today's kit was 100% the same as yesterday's with one exception. Two Feather shims were added in an effort to simulate the 1.35.
There was definite blade feel throughout the shave, but it was of issue only in a few places.
I do not know that I'd enjoy the 1.35 as a Daily Driver. Kinda think I wouldn't.
Worse, my shave, while very good in many places, was less good in spots. I believe to the degree it was relatively rough feeling and to the degree there was a lot of blade feel it discouraged enough work to ensure a shave as close overall as my previous shaves (two) with the unmodified 1.15.
I'm writing this immediately after shaving and cleaning up the shave den and applying HA, splash, and moisturizer. At the moment I notice no signs of irritation or discomfort. There was no blood.
Interesting experiment today.
Will I repeat it? Maybe. Maybe not. Tomorrow I will use one shim to simulate the 1.25 unless I change my mind.
Happy shaves,
Jim

- Going ATG on my upper lip the blade feel was impressive. There is with my 1.15 (without shims) some ATG blade feel on my upper lip, but with two shims the blade feel was more than I like.
- On my chin and soul patch the blade feel was also a bit much (more than I like for sure) and more so ATG.
