Bought a new razor head from a French Artisan. I didn't purchase the full razor, just the head. Mounted it on top of a Copper Bandit Handle from Alpha.
The razor is a dual comb, milled from 316L stainless steel. Gap is 1.2mm. The razor is available in sandblasted finish or polished, but I opted for machine finished.
The Le Maurice shaves very well indeed. The 1.2mm gap isn't at all intimidating in practical usage. The overall shave feel is very similar to a Gamechanger .84 OC. Mid aggressive. Le Maurice has a high level of efficiency.
A 2.5 pass shave gives me BBS. This is equivalent to a vector OC shave or that from a Blutt Rasur. On fact the smoothness is comparable to the Blutt Rasur 1.2 which I own and love.
It does have a bit more bladefeel given that it's a dual comb.
The very nice thing about this razor is that the 2.5 passes end up giving me BBS with zero irritation. I can see this as a daily driver. More so than the likes of Timeless bronze OC or even the Blackbird OC. Two thumbs up to Augustin!
The razor is produced by Augustin from Atelier Durdan.
