I've been using it primarily with Personna Israeli Reds. I've had similar results with Gillette Platinum blades, and I'm not sure that I've used any other blades in it.If you find a smoother blade than Shark with it, let me be in on it.

Let me ask whether you shave riding the top cap or the guard bar, too. I shave by guard riding, it feels smoother.I've been using it primarily with Personna Israeli Reds. I've had similar results with Gillette Platinum blades, and I'm not sure that I've used any other blades in it.
I have been using double edge razors for most of my 55+ shaving years, and until I read about it in this forum I never gave any thought to shaving angle. The one time I concentrated on it, I cut myself pretty badly. For me, each razor has a "natural angle" and that is what I use.Let me ask whether you shave riding the top cap or the guard bar, too.

I have the Yaqi DOC as well. Paired with a Voskhod blade. Awesome! Very smooth and efficient.If you find a smoother blade than Shark with it, let me be in on it.
I could still shave in 6 passes and not be clean. An exceedingly sharp blade is all it takes to ruin my day.I found it so mild that I could do 6 full passes and not get a remotely clean shave.
Yuck! As far as the cut goes.

I used the SLOC Saturday on two days of stubble, and it worked great - so smooth that I didn't feel it cutting, but it gave me a BBS shave everywhere except for two small places on the cheeks, which sometimes happens to me with milder razors. I give the SLOC a thumbs up.Before I saw this thread today, I had ordered three razor heads last night from RazoRock/Italian Barber: the SLOC, the German 37 slant, and the RazoRock OLD Type, along with a bulldog handle.
So hopefully, I will be able to chime in with an opinion on the SLOC soon. I am looking forward to testing it.
Hi, I always assume remaining lather indicated too concentrated lather. If you are not face lathering, you can maintain the consistency in the shaving bowl quite visually.I'd say it's gimmick. It leaves trails of lather, but I'd still rather re-apply than make do with those lingering trails.
…. Back when they were invented, gentlemen were more apt to shave once per week (before church). Dealing with 7 days of growth is different than dealing with one or maybe two days growth. Open combs are a better solution to the clogging problem. That's just a theory though, and I've never gone long enough between shaves to even test it properly…
