Frankenrazor February

[gvw755]

Wrap Up

This was an interesting month as I finally spent time systematically evaluating the different Frankenrazor combos. The good part is that I ended up with more combinations that I liked than I didn’t. Some were so much beter than the original razors that I have permanently configured that way

Favorite Frankenrazors:
Windrose Cap/Fatip Base
DOC Cap/Merkur Base
Marvel Cap/Fatip Base
Marvel Cap/Swing Base
Lutz Diagonal Cap/Apollo Base
Alfa Cap/Progress Base
Alfa Cap/ OC Base
Feather AS-D2 Cap/Gillette New De Luxe Base

Frankenrazors to stay away from:
DOC cap/Apollo Base
DOC Cap/Marvel Base
Mystery French Bakelite Cap/Neo Lux Base

For those that have been keeping up and contributing, thanks for doing so, and hopefully I have done something to make you take a look at a razor not as a whole, but as parts that can be mixed and matched to get better results. Many of you already do this with the Rockwell, Karve, and ATT. This is the same thing, except the cap, base, and handle (yeah okay, whatever you want) aren’t coming from the same manufacturer.

This was the first year ever. Don't know if there will be another, but it was fun.

Oops... I guess you can all see I'm new at this. Well, it was still nice to participate. I learned a quite a bit, and I'm looking forward to more lessons in the future. Thanks again.
