@Cal, is the PB still your favorite?But if I could only have ONE RAZOR, it would definitely be my PB.
I have been reading a lot of praise about the Fatip on the B&B forum, especially from the folks from the BOSC that find it to be their #1.
The PB is indeed rigid, manoeuvrable and effective. The fact that it´s not less than a Fatip in those regards, for some who know what they´re talking about, quite honors the PB.

I have to admit that I've been "playing the field" somewhat Fabien.Out of all my razors my current top three favorites are:
- Fatip Piccolo
- Phoenix Bakelite Open Comb Slant
- Knockout (1945 British Bakelite)

Welcome, and enjoy.
Recently went back to head shaving and went through a few razor/blade combos while trying to regain some lost muscle memory. Had at it last night with the Storm Trooper with a fresh Personna Red and had great results. For me the light weight provides excellent tactile feedback navigating the less than perfect landscape. Smooth hard bone is a different game than face shaving but the PBOC seems to be more than up to the task. Looking forward to the next shave, I keep rubbing and checking, it's getting close.

The PBOCS is IMO one the best razors out there.
Most guys want stainless steel, brass, or titanium. I find bakelite no less attractive.
The PBOCS could be the only DE in my den, and I would remain satisfied.

Hello Gents! I've been gone awhile and now back on the forum getting caught up. I broke out my PBOCS this week after a long hiatus. I freely admit I have not given it a deserved shot and have not achieved a comfort level yet. It handles so differently than my other DE razors. I think I am dialing in on a better angle and the light pressure. Today, I stayed with just a careful and efficient WTG shave and the result was pretty DFS. I will try to stay with it for the week and see if things improve. I was considering moth-balling or selling it but I want to give it a good go. Cheers!

You have to give it a chance!
Mine stood at least a year without use. I have put it on Ebay and canceled the sell, threw it once in the garbage to search for it back. I even tried to break it with my hands. Love & Hate relationship as its best!
Until I clicked with it... this thing is damn good, once you know how to appreciate it.
Just discovered this thread and enjoy reading the posts.
