I seem to be going through a “Fine” period.
I’ve just celebrated my completed 30 training shaves with the Fine Slant Razor by using my new Fine Marvel for the first time. Here it is:
Although it’s three times heavier than the Fine Aluminum Slant, I didn’t even notice it. For me that’s a very good sign, especially as I’m not usually too keen on heavy razors. BTW, "all metal" means "chrome plated zinc alloy." It looks and feels very nice (to my eye and hand).
HERE’S THE MEASUREMENTS:
Assembled and loaded (easy-peasy and very accurate):
End view showing blade (the blade is quite rigid, even with such a large clamp distance):
SO HOW DOES IT PERFORM?
Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget
Soap: Williams Mug Soap
Razor: Fine Marvel
Blade: Kai (5)
ASL: Cool Lemon
I (mostly) always pay attention while I’m shaving, and particularly with a completely new-to-me razor. I don’t know if it was beginner’s luck but it felt like an old friend that I’d been shaving with forever. I found it easy to shave with and efficient too. Excellent performance.
Unless I’ve just been dreaming, two thumbs up to Mr Fine.
I intend using the Marvel for at least the next six shaves and will post my SOTDs here, noting any further plus or minus points as I go.
Happy shaves all y’all.
