My stainless, matte scalloped cap is much smoother on my oily face than any of my smooth and/or polished caps. For science I took several caps and just tried to glide them over my check. Sure they are all steep shavers and likely not much of these caps even touch my face much but…..
Caps tested:
EJ89 smooth polished
Blackbird SS polished
Pearl Flexi smooth matte
Timeless SS matte scalloped
Overlander brass smooth matte
By a very large margin, the Timeless ran over my check with significantly less friction then the rest. Now, does this matter even a little bit being I’m a steep shaver? I’m figuring out my next Timeless cap and my eyes want a polished scalloped yet my brain wants an equally smooth shave. Thoughts?
