The New is really different than the 1947 Superspeed that I've been using since starting, but with a little work I seem to be getting much better shaves.

chromatic aberration is the failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point

Hot towel

The balm is nice, offered a good covering and even after 17hrs after the shave I am not feeling any itchiness on my face. It has too much menthol though.

How do you like the Palmera? If you're willing, im interested in your thoughts on the hones as well as how the razor feels against the face.

Thank you..

Josh.. I love the Palmera and the larger blades. In fact after using it yesterday prompted me to sell my a couple of my 5/8's. I am still new to straights, only been using them for 6 months or so, but the feel and balance of this razor is just perfect.

I am even more new to Hones, but after reading and debating a lot, I went with the shaptons. So far I have honed a few razors including the Palmera and haven't felt they have been real difficult to use. I think as people often say, as long as you set the bevel and spend time at 1 and 4K, pretty much all hones will give decent results.

As fas as the Palmera, if you spot one, get it, you will not regret. They are on par with the Filli, though I might prefer the balance and the hefty blade of the Palmera

Cheers

Outstanding! thanks for the thoughtful response and for feeding my SRAD, which, until now was fairly sated.
