What did you learn from your safety razor shave today?

[Guido75]

I learned that I need to redial my Schick Injector shaves. Woaw! What a ruff ride that was.

I also learned that my new Razorock Beehive and Big Bruce are amazing brushes!

I love confirming something I thought I knew... for me, the La Faulx Classic still might be the best razor I've ever used. <eg>

I also confirmed.... while Cremo is an effective shaving cream, I'll be glad to get home to my brushes, along with my brushed on pre-shaves and brush applied shaving soaps.

Interesting Kim…..Never considered “brushed on pre-shaves”..
Glad you and the Mrs. are having a good time on your trip!

I melted a PAA Cube 2.0 in one of Scott's (Captain's Choice) Soap Lockers and have been using a brush to apply it... Since the brush is already lathered up, I've been adding pre-shave before each pass. I'm not sure it's making a huge difference, but add slickness shouldn't hurt, should it?

Come to think of it, I believe @BobbyB does something similarly.

That’s where I got the idea. I’ve thanked him several times. I just added the pre-shave with every pass.

Butch,

@Ron R has an excellent, brush-applied pre-shave routine, too.

I learned today that my go to blade for my new Atelier La Faulx ++ (MAY) end up being the Feather Professional…..At least after trying the Professional Super and Captain Titan Mild Pink. Still way too early in the game to carve that in stone however. I was also reminded how important your preshave ritual may be and also not to “baby” your razor with uncommitted strokes, but to be confident, decisive, firm, but not reckless during the shave.

 

[Trollky]

Today I learned that it is still possible to get noticable aftershave feedback despite a stellar shave...

 

[thombrogan]

Will a sharp blade make up for my poor technique? I don’t know that, but I do use poor technique to make up for a duller blade.

Well stated Thombrogan!

From yesterday.

The Vector SS/SB delivers an excellent head shave paired with a Feather Artist Club ProSuper.

 

[House Boy]

I have learned that all razor blades are sharp

 

[Anchovie666]

I'm finding that I really do like Injector razors.

Ditto...a fresh Nacet in the otherwise mild mannered '67 TTO will still slice skin when buffing sideways. (what on earth was I thinking) ((as I sit here rubbing the scab that has now opened up, again))

It's always my fault, I sometimes nick the bottom of my left nostril when getting ready to position the razor under my nose, just not paying attention. Maybe it's a depth perception thing, this is why the Air Force didn't want me as a pilot.

I went with too many clean up passes on my trouble spots when I should have just stopped. Have a bit of irritation

 

[Jay21]

The Dorco ST301 is a very consistent blade shave-to-shave.

 

[Guido75]

I learned that Sputnik blades are not for me. Sharp yes, effective yes, but lacks in the comfort department.
