OCMM - First and Last Shave?

[gene_stanley]

as I said before I would post back after shaving with the OCMM using a SE blade. I can report back that I now have my raking routine down ahead of the coming fall season. a full three passes and still patches of growth that never were cut. I reached for the Gillette Slim DE bumped it to eight and everything was taken care of!

I am happy that I tried it though. I used angle(s) and cross strokes too . . . just glad that the Gillette had my back. I work in an hour.

Gene how many times have you shaved with it?, try it again when you have more time and don't have to hurry due to work. Also you might want to try a newer blade. I had an injector give me a bad shave where it missed stubble and it turned out that the blade was dull.

the blade was fresh and new right from the holder . . . I have the shave an hour too. I will try again for sure. I'm no quitter - lol

if you have swathes of uncut hair I'd bet your angle was wrong. That MM hrad should be just off the face at all times.

That was user error, or a bum blade. That is one of the greatest razors of all time......

I'm shocked that you got that kind of shave. The OCMM is one of my all time favorite razors. I got BBS shaves that were very smooth. It's ranked 3rd for me behind the Streamline/Jewels and OC Damaskeene. I hope you give it more time/tries.
