Hi everyone,
I've been wet shaving for close to 3 years now, and I've only just recently realized I've been doing it wrong this whole time and have really dialed in my shaves for the first great sucesses on a long road. My skin apparently is very prone to irritation and I've changed to a 1 pass (face) 2 pass (head) shave recently. I've gravitated back to DE from a majority of this time spent in the SE world as I discovered first the Rockwell 6c, and on Christmas my wife gifted me the hotly debated Feather AS-D2..which has just great for me. It's the best shave of my life and I get no irritation and perfect results everytime using it.
But I would like to have at least a 2-3 razor rotation, I sold off some razors and have a little money to play with. I found an original Mamba .53 available for purchase, and of course Italian Barber has the .70 readily available so..I'm wondering if anyone with direct experience with these 3 might be able to point me toward the right Mamba to purchase. I've read and believe the blade gap on the Feather is .73, but I know a lot more goes into play other than gap..I'm concerned the .53 may be TOO mild (if that's possible) and in theory the .70 should be a close direct comparison, but I have reservations. I don't want to go over board back to irritation central.
Any help or advice you could give would be appreciated. Thanks!
