Love the way the Vector gets through my whiskers and how wonderfully it treats my face. Shaving with the Vector feels natural and very comfortable. :thumbup:

Excellent shave! :cool:

I borrowed my mweeeh Yaqi katana to a buddy who commented it behaved s lot better with a shim on top of the blade.

so I tried a shim on top of a kcg and it actually gave a nice shave without issues. Still fairly aggressive but better usable.

thanks for the tip M.

Another excellent soap! Intoxicating scent, thickly creamy and slick lather...awesome!! The brush is very good for face lathering!
Shave with razor paired with this blade was very good. Initially abit skippy but once found the correct angle...it became very smooth and comfortable in 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were fantastic!

Hacked Single-Guard Barbasol NFH/Proline B20.

The NFH Barbasol is a fairly mild shaver and the first shaves with a half DE blade (flush against the stops) in this razor were ok but not really worth the trouble.

In contrast the Proline B20 eyeballed to provide decent exposure gives a great shave. Not quite as cool as the Enders which is a more natural fit but still a thing I'll happily repeat.

Officially finished my Vetyver MDC, roughly 8 months of daily shaves.
