Nice to see some Solo Edge love. I find it is a great head shaver, well made, and a great value at under 40 bucks.

I have to be careful the first few shaves when switching from other razors. The weight and balance is a bit different and I have to remember that or it will nick me. Nevertheless, I like this razor a lot

Glad you like it.

I'm guessing it behaves differently for head shaves. I've never used it on my beard, but compared to many others that I've used on my head it seems fairly mild.

ASRazor shave, Tuesday, April 30th 2024

Razor : Gem 1912 Damaskenne OC, MFG 1912-15, mild to tame mid range. Excellent design and stamping technology for that time period. Very enjoyable old razor to use that will compete with almost any razor for my desired results at the end of a shave. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(9) Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose. Nice rose scented 7/10 strength with excellent lather qualities. Great creams CRS makes.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka express: 26mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Italian barber(RR) Amici splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem 1912 with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves
