High Efficiency Razors Summer 2022
- Thread starter never-stop-learning
- Start date
I have been using the Lupo 95 Open Comb baseplate since it arrived and it does the job. I wish I could try a Wolfman with a bigger blade gap, but it's out of my price range.
Were we in need of an acronym for our activities in this thread? I rember some mentioning that earlier.
I just had the following thought:
H.E.R.O. - High Efficiency Razor Ownership followed by the month of our choice. After all there is something heroic in using a high efficiency razor like the ones we are targeting here.
Would that be enough of a soundbite? Perhaps other thoughts? Or just stick with what we have is of course also a great idea.
Best,
Guido

Tonight’s shave
RazoRock Hawk V3OC
Schick Proline P-series (7)
Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
RazoRock F-400 XXL 34mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: none
Lather: Col Conk Unscented and ARKO!, face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: hot shower
Back to MOAR and back to mentholated aftershave.
Prep for tonight’s shave was loading soap like something was wrong with me followed by face lathering and adding water like under hydrated lather was what was wrong with me. The Guillotine Stroke/Gillette Slide, zigzagging, and the tiniest of j-hooks were present in the shave. The cap was surfed heathenistically and a fine shave was enjoyed.
Seven days in on my return to the RazoRock Hawk V3OC and I’m getting the hang of it. One day back on eschewing pre-shave prep and I’m enjoying that, too.

Have a Great day everyone
A great shave on Blackland Thursday!
This morning I had another great shave with the Ti'Bird / Feather combo. The Bird mowed down two days worth of growth like nobody's business. Three passes made my skin velvety smooth again.
For shaving my chin, a troublespot area in my face, I unscrewed the handle a bit (approx. a quarter turn) to increase the blade gap. Never tried this before. It worked out pretty well, the blade was kept in place securely (enough), though a bit of blade chatter showed up.
BBS, no nicks.
Happy shaves!

Last night’s shave
RazoRock Hawk V3OC

Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
AP ShaveCo Cashmere 30mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: none
Lather: Col Conk Unscented and ARKO!, face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: hot shower
Didn’t load enough soap so it didn’t hold enough water. Henceforth, the shave was slowed. So I know what I’m doing differently next time.
