PBB (Phoenix Bakelite Brotherhood) for Phoenix Bakelite Open Comb Slant lovers

[Cal]

What: A brotherhood for Phoenix Bakelite Open Comb Slant (PB) owners who regularly, maybe even exclusively, enjoy shaving with their mighty 16 gram Bakelite razor.

Why: I’ve noticed an increasing number of threads where people have just discovered, and immediately loved, their new Phoenix Bakelite. So, as it’s not just me, I thought hey let’s start a brotherhood for this stellar lightweight.

Who: Anyone who loves shaving with their Phoenix Bakelite. If that’s you, please join us. Simply post a reply saying “I’m in”… and better still, tell us your PB story and post a pic of your PB too, we love pics!

Then, of course, feel free to add PBB to your signature.

And of course any further stories, pics, SOTDs, questions, etc are always welcome at any time during your Phoenix Bakelite romance.

Let the love start here…

Hi,

I was going to buy one, or maybe two (black and white) back when PAA was using a pic of an original Fasan DoubleSlant on their page. I presume no one there could read German....but then they changed that pic to a single slant.....

Maybe one day they will make a DS copy. I presume users of the originals don't qualify, especially if the originals are not quite the same....

I'm in I like the Phoenix Bakelite well enough, and mostly think it's cool that it is a resurrection of Fasan slant. It is my favorite slant.

I am not in (yet) but I am watching the thread and learning! I will be dreaming of a PAA during the remainder of my time during the 2017 shave purchase sabbatical.

Love it in white!

I'll continue my test of good blade pairings with the PAA Bakelite slant, and post them. So far the Astra SP works the best, and this seems to be what others find too. The PAA Bakelite Slant is a fun razor. It's not my favorite slant, that's the RazoRock Wunderbar, but that razor, when available is $130! The PAA Bakelite at under $20, is certainly a bargain, and a candidate for an ideal travel razor, and it proves you don't need a heavyweight beast to get a great, comfortable and close shave.

I have yet to try a slant. One of these days, I'll get around to it! Good luck on your new club!

You are correct Stan. But you appear to have THE razor for you; let's face it, nothing could be better than that.

As a Steward (and therefore a qualified enabler) it's only right that you purchase a slant for yourself immediately! And if you choose the PB as your first slant, you won't need to take out a second mortgage.

Good luck on your new club!

Thank you Adam.

I'll get some better shots soon! Those came out blurry

This will be good for me. My very first go-to, 100 blade buy was the Astra SP and I always have plenty in my stash.

Welcome to the PBB Richard.

About what year is your pristine looking Fasan please? And have you noticed any differences in the shaves between your Fasan and your PB?

 

[Raven Koenes]

Nice. I'm in. Here's mine, in black, next to it's cream Fasan original

Sweet! Thanks for the picture! I too am looking forward to hearing your take on the differences!
