Need a place to store info on what works with what razor. My collection of razors is around 40 and I'm struggling to remember what worked good for each razor. Main focus will be shallow or steep angle.
I shave every other day. Would like to shave every day but haven't found a daily driver. I own 7 tech's and 3 tech clones, you would think one of them would serve as a dd. Pretty sure the problem is me not the razor.
Little history. 1986 Uncle Sam issues me a 4 pack of blue Gillette twin blade razors and a small can of foamy. I used variations of those disposables till 2014. Made the move to de safety razor. I got buy with a Feather popular and shark super stainless blades. Was shaving about once a week. Still used foamy cause I couldn't figure out the soap and brush. Used a steep angle. Blade life one shave.
Fall 2019 enter Rockwell 6c. Steep angle, Gillette platinum blades, blade life one shave, shaving every 3rd day, figured out how to use soap and brush. Shaves much improved! Should have stopped there.
Discovered B&B in the spring of 2020. Didn't really post much till January of this year. Had to get to fifty to post on BST.
What I remember so far:
Rockwell 6c steep works good, haven't tried shallow.
RazoRock GC68-P steep not good, shallow works good, .
RazoRock GC84-P steep not good, haven't tried shallow.
RazoRock Old Type steep OK, shallow good.
RazoRock Mamba 70 steep no good, shallow good, .
Gillette Tech Pre War haven't tried steep, shallow not good.
Gillette Tech FB steep good, haven't tried shallow.
Gillette Tech Early Canadian up next.
